"Christian" Lyrics or Chrisitans playing Music...

Yes I have not posted anything in awhile but I felt like writing about this.  About a week ago I was on the website of 'As I Lay Dying' and I wanted to find more about who they were.  I heard that they were "Christian" even though they are a screamo-band.  On their website, Tim Lambesis stated on the band's FAQ, 

"I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band. If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very "preachy." Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a christian. (wikipedia.org)

After reading this I thought that this makes perfect sense! We don't just always need artists writing "Christian" lyrics, we need Christians to be playing the music!  The more bands and artists who write like this will attract people from all over and impact many.

What do you think?
