This band is not Christian-based. Underoath WAS, but this band and it's album are a conceptual telling of Ma Barker and the Barker-Karpis gang.

I wouldn't exactly call'em "heavy metal". They're more like southern hardcore. Bandgeek100 00:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The band's name and certain songs are about that story, but, far and large, a lot of thier lyrical subjects are Christian. "If the blinders were just gone would you then feel Jesus.", etc. Also, Dallas typically ends the live shows with something along the lines of they don't mean to judge anyone and aren't pushing anything down anyones throats, and then they will talk of their beliefs for a second, even if it's just a simple "Christ loves you".

[edit] Christian?

I know Taylor is from Underoath, etc. etc., but I've never heard a definitive conclusion that this band is a Christian one. Can we reference this claim?JeffreyGomez 09:31, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Citations?

Sigh....more of them please! Particularly on the Guitar Hero III reference. --Wick3dd 21:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

I haven't listend to their first album, but I have the second one, and the lyrics have a death metal feel. In fact, they're pretty much all about the death of Ma Barker and her sons. Christianrocker —Preceding comment was added at 18:47, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


Sigh. Singing about death does not constitute death metal. --Wick3dd 21:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this should be hardcore, this sounds very much like a cross of Southern Rock and Metalcore. Definitely not death metal. It's not even close to death metal. 79.66.82.204 (talk)

[edit] Lineup

Is the current lineup listed on here accurate? Josh Cornutt is no longer listed as a member of the band on their Myspace nor is he in the new photography. -Polefar 18 April 2008
