"i went to the planetwisdom youth confrence w/my school and the swift performed. they are amazing christian band. i got to talk to the bass player and he seemed very nice and they dont want u to just focus on them performing up there on stage they want top focus on God. the song lyrics are great because you know they mean something its not just about sex,drugs or stuff like that, i highly recommend this cd. its great!"
I'm biased, but hear me out.

"Yeah, I helped out with the lyrics to "Moshing Machine", but that doesn't really matter because I love this album. I heard these songs before they were finished and that's why I wanted to be a part of it. Some would say I have a conflict of interest but I don't care, it's still my opinion.
I've read a lot of really negative things about this album. It lacks depth, it lacks lyrical bite, blah, blah, blah. Anyone who listens to CCM knows that the labels water down everything that they touch. The fact that The Swift have managed to put out an album that sounds like NOTHING else on Christian radio is pretty darn impressive to me. I can hear the honesty in their message and that's all that really matters isn't it? The fact that they borrow from Queen, Ben Folds, Jellyfish, XTC, Keith Green, Billy Joel and The Beatles only makes it that much more special. Keep rocking guys."
This cd isn't just awesome, it's stinkin awesome!

"I attended a concert in Charlotte and saw these guys perform.
They were absolutely dynamic. They performed with such ease and enthusiasm. The piano player is a born natural. All the band played well. They really rocked the house.
There is no doubt that the message in song and word comes straight from the heart. I bought the CD and cannot get enough of it. As a matter of fact, I was so moved by them, I bought 8 CD's and 8 DVD's for Christmas gifts."
UNBELIEVABLE!

"I went to a youth conference in January and the Swift were there. I had never heard of them before, but I realized I had heard one of their songs on the radio. They led worship and did a concert- they were awesome!! You can tell that they are really men of God and they don't want you to focus on them, but on God. After the conference I knew I had to get their album.
My favorites on the CD are Wake Up and Almost There. Wow....All the songs are great though!! I never skip any of them...the band is awesome!!! The lyrics are great and once I got the CD I couldn't stop listening to it...I highly recommend this to anyone!!!!!"
