In The Light

posted in: Music News

Some bands use music as catharsis, grinding their axe against the injustices of the world. Some use it to broadcast emotion, bearing their hearts for all to see. And maybe some use it to ask questions”to ponder the inner workings of the universe. Canons, out of Tecumseh, Mich., uses music to celebrate their faith. But it’s not all choirs of angels and heavenly trumpets. Their music draws not only from divine inspiration, but from secular bands like Jimmy Eat World and Coldplay. Someday Soon is angular and turbulent, a caveat for those wasting their time here on Earth. Someday we’ll wake up and see the dream is gone, sings Dustin Lolli over crystalline guitars and thrashing drums. If that’s too dark a thought for you, skip over to Take Hold Of My Hand, a power ballad that compels you to wave your lighter in the air. Reverent rock isn’t for everyone, but if the spirit moves you, let there be light.
