Langly Interview

Langly

Langly is the new sound of Christian alternative rock.  We, the Indie Team, find them to be a great mix of good tones and good messages.  For this band, we really like the idea of the message that they're trying to send.  We usually discuss the music behind bands on Indie Alternative Rock, but today we're going to focus on beliefs.  We'll provide some links or videos so that you can listen to this great band.  The cool thing we love about Langly is that they sing about the Christian religion, and serving God.  We find they're music very serious, and very good at the same time and we also respect them a lot for what they do.  Sometimes it can be really hard to play religious music for people.  What if those people aren't religious?  This could be an obstacle for picking up new fans, but Langly seems to get around it.    But seriously, what do we know about Langly?  Well to be honest we didn't know a lot until we asked them a few questions.  Take a look.... 

The Interview

Q:  What is the sole purpose of your music?

    I have to say that the sole purpose in our music is to target people that think Christians are just bible reading, church going, bible thumpers. We aim to show them that in our music that it's not always about straight up saying "I love you Jesus" in each and every song. We want to show people that our music is just as good as any secular bands music, but we try to bring a positive influence and songs that everyday people can compare to

Q:  What are some pros and cons of being a Christian rock band?

When we chose to become a Christian band we knew it would come with its pros and cons. On the positive side, through the ministry that God has given us we have the opportunity to reach a diverse group of people. I feel that because of our age we have a larger influence on the teenage crowd, which is about the time where they are going through changes spiritually and mentally. So I'm thankful that we are able to kind of put our foot in the door and spread the seeds that God has given us to sow. I cant say there are any negatives more like challenges to overcome. Because we are a Christian band we have a reputation to uphold, not only our reputation but that of our Savior. We have to be extra careful of what we say, what we do, how we act etc. These challenges and opportunities have molded us into the band we are today!

Q:  How would you describe your live show?

We've seen a lot of bands get on the stage, play there music, get off the stage and not say a word. For the people watching its kind of uncomfortable. So when we play we like to make the audience feel like they're a part of the family. Also at the start and end of every show we always invite the audience to come and hang out with us.

Q: What's it like working out of West Virginia?

We've seen a lot of bands get on the stage, play there music, get off the stage and not say a word. For the people watching its kind of uncomfortable. So when we play we like to make the audience feel like they're a part of the family. Also at the start and end of every show we always invite the audience to come and hang out with us. 

Q:  Who are some of your influences?

Paramore, Switchfoot, Needtobreathe, Run Kid Run, Stellar Kart, Anberlin, David Crowder, Skillet, etc..

Q:  What is one message that you would want to get across to your fans?

Hard work always pays off! Keeps your eyes fixed on Christ and Christ alone!! Be thankful for what God has given you and remember who you are and where you came from! Don't let egos get in the way!
