AS I Write this review on the Christian/alt/rock band "Abandon", I am giving them a listen. As the Brit-rock worthy croons and guitar waves fill my ears, I am glimpsing Abandon's music page. Their sample playlist is more than pleasing, ranging from Coldplay-ish piano driven melodies to Modest Mouse-esque beats to The Killers...well, just The Killers. And all in all, the lyrics are refreshingly electric and devoid of shallow sentences and half-thought meanings. At this point, my favorite might just be the track "Safe In Your Arms" from Abandon's debut full-length album
Searchlights. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the group offers a strong, dynamic voice to their faith in Jesus Christ and His rescuing personality. Their full-length album's title gathers this concept in a single word. Abandon currently consists of five members: Josh, Justin, Bryan, Stevan, and last but not least, Dave. On a side note, the band offers support to several good causes, including Blood Water Mission and Emerge Experience. Give them a try, I doubt you will be disappointed. I think they do their genre justice.
