Day of Fire

Losing All

Razor & Tie

What distinguishes Christian rock bands that only play churches from Christian rock bands on the verge of opening up for Stone Temple Pilots is a mystery.

Whatever the reasons — more tattoos? grittier vocals? songs co-written by Chris Daughtry? songs about overcoming heroin addiction? — Day of Fire is one of the latter: A new breed of straight-ahead Christian rock that refuses to be relegated to the kids’ table. Channeling the relentless energy of seminal 90s rockers like Foo Fighters and, yes, Stone Temple Pilots, the Dove Award-winning, Nashville quartet simply and absolutely rip it up on their third studio album “Losing All.” Buy it and be proud.
