All bands are worship bands. 2) War on War is a more Christian song than anything you'll hear if you turn on your local Christian radio station RIGHT NOW and listen ALL DAY LONG. 3) Their songwriting philosophy has come full circle now. "YHF" was an album full of ridiculously simple songs, deconstructed and over-produced to sound multi-faceted and complex. "SBS" is an album full of ridiculously complex songs, polished up and tightly packed to sound deceptively simple and direct. 4) The closest thing you'll find to a Christian Wilco sound (though the idea of wanting that irks me, honestly) is "I See Things Upside Down." Derek Webb has been covering Wilco songs for years now, and cites them as a huge influence. (See almost any DW interview on youtube where he starts ranting about his inspirations...they'll come up.) Interested to see the next "Wish They Were..." 1) They are a worship band. All bands are worship bands.
