I’ve been deciding on how to spend the $50 gift certificate from Westminster Theological Seminary Books (link), courtesy of Tim Challies (link), and I came across a band called Reilly. You can check out their mySpace (here) and their website (here). Awesome stuff. It’s reformed theologically, but awesome music. I tend to think of Switchfoot, and Three Doors Down, but they are a lot better. It’s “symphonic rock” (a la Coldplay). They mix in dual violins as opposed to Coldplay’s piano, and it sounds amazing. I’ve been listening to the album a while now, and I’ve decided that I like it..a lot. Some singles worth checking out are Limited Time, Sunlight, and Dying for Life. Redeemed is a hot song too. The only downside is that a couple of the songs sound alike, which is to be expected, but still slightly disappointing. Even in the face of that miniscule fact, you should purchase it. Available on iTunes.
