Ok, so I finally broke down and did it. After all this time of basically deceiving myself that Christian music is so unique that it doesn't sound similar to ANYONE, I decided to put out a comparison list because the basic fact is, it does. With that said, these comparisons, by no means mean that these Christian bands sound EXACTLY like the secular bands listed. Many of these Christian artists sound very unique and some only remotely similar to what's listed. But by listening, you will clearly see the influences. We all have a testimony, and as music lovers, we probably loved the music of the world first before we finally surrendered our lives to Christ and started integrating more Christian music into our lives. At least I did. Here is a list of some that I have found to be similar.
I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me. ~Jesus

Record Labels
Demo Submissions and Record Labels
My only admonition when you pursue a label is to carefully pray about it. Being a touring musician means that you will encounter numerous temptations out on the road; I have seen many a band member start to recede back into the world system. My only advice is to stay plugged into the Word daily and have an accountability partner back home that you call every day. And if you blow it, still call.
My personal advice is to start your own label and if possible give all your music away free or use all the money you make towards propagating the Gospel. But, I understand that some touring bands need the cash to live and provide for their families.
