4th Avenue Jones - Alternative?
This archived discussion is "read only".
» nickiabyss - new album out soon Hello everyone.Is anyone here familiar with 4th Avenue Jones? Their sound is very unique I'm not sure what you would label them but its a blend of hip hop, rock and soul music. What do you guys think of this sound? If you're not familiar with it listen here: -- posted by nickiabyss » Ognyen - Re: new album out soon In response to new album out soon posted by nickiabyss:I checked 'em out, and they, indeed, have an intriguing sound. They're on Gotee Records (Toby Mac's label), and all the descriptions I read said they're uplifting, and positive. The other stuff I read and saw indicated nothing more than they might be nice and non-violent folks. Lots of pagan, atheists, and agnostics could fit that. Some of the names even sound a bit Islamic. What can you show me to convince me that they're a Christian act? --OK, Gotee Records is a plus, but not quite enough. I DID like the sounds I heard as I browsed over the links Google.com gave me. -- posted by Ognyen » nickiabyss - Re: Re: new album out soon In response to Re: new album out soon posted by Ognyen:
they have a page on myspace check it out -- posted by nickiabyss » Ognyen - Re: Re: Re: new album out soon In response to Re: Re: new album out soon posted by nickiabyss:OK, maybe I'm blind. I couldn't find any testimony where they said they're Christian, or had a church home or anything like that. I read their story, and re-read it, and did so at other sites as well. Maybe I'll have to wait until my library gets a copy of the CD to be able to see the lyrics and get more info. I even read the messages left by fans. I did notice they seem to play lots of secular venues, and are associated with or compared to some secular bands. -- posted by Ognyen » kulture - Re: new album out soon you can listen to some songs at http://www.hiphopforthesoul.comthey are definitely Christian. Gotee doesn't put out non Christian artists. -- posted by kulture » kulture - Re: new album out soon you can also buy their album at http://www.hiphopforthesoul.com for only $10-- posted by kulture » Ognyen - Re: Re: new album out soon In response to Re: new album out soon posted by kulture:OK, I guess I gotta say it. I bought a copy of 4th Avenue Jones' Stereo: the Evolution of Hiprocksoul. It's great music, and a review is forth-coming. I got mine at Christian Book Distributers for $9.99 plus S&H, which is most-reasonable if you order more stuff than just one CD. I also got Apt Core's second CD and a couple gifts. I think the review will be included in the up-coming Idol Worship article. I'll still be trying to get band response for the review. Granted, Gotee's got a good Christian reputation, but that doesn't guarantee everything they put out is scriptually sound. -- posted by Ognyen
