Mainstream band Brandtson tell HM magazine about their faith.

AMERICAN mainstream rock band Brandtson spoke recently about their Christian faith. The July/August issue of HM magazine featured an interview with the band's guitarist Matt Traxler in which he said, "Our faith is more of a personal thing than a 'band' thing. There is some overlapping in the fact that I feel very thankful for all the opportunities that we have had and that we haven't had any major tragedies within the band and also in the fact that the music that we write, lyrically is rather 'personal'. But, we have worked very hard to stay out of the 'Christian' music scene and have never done this band as any sort of 'ministry'. I think that how we personally live our lives should be an example of our faith, which quite frankly is often times a very poor example when lined up with what I claim to believe." Brandtson have their seventh release 'Give Us A Signal' released through the Militia Group. CR
