Breaking Down the Warped Tour - You Like Christian Rock?
Sunday, June 3, 2007 by Power Rambling
Just for fun I made some pie charts (mmmm... pie) about the different labels representing bands at the St. Petersburg stop of this year's Warped Tour. Check it out.
Based on band's last release.
"Christians," in this case, means bands on either Tooth and Nail Records (which some claim is no longer a Christian label) or Solid State Records, which is an imprint label owned by Tooth and Nail.
The final breakdown looks like a pretty good mix. If I were to see this chart, I would: A. Wonder why some idiot made it, and B. Think that there would probably be some bands I would like to see.
This year, though, that's just not the case for me. I listened to some of every band while compiling the previous posts, and of the bands I didn't know, there was only one that at first listen sounded original. That didn't last, unfortunately. I wouldn't mid seeing Bad Religion, but I have seen them before. I can't justify the price of the ticket just to go record shopping, either. So unless the lineup changes, I am probably not going this year. Disappointing.
