+ | Every Day Life, later simply known as EDL, was a Christian rapcore group. The band became identified with the straight edge movement, which advocates abstinence from sex, drugs and tobacco. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The band's first two albums were pulled from Christian bookstores. Their videos were played on MTV, their albums entered the college radio charts, and they were nominated for a Dove Award. | ||

+ | [[Larry Norman]] was an influence for the band, with the lyricist telling one interviewer that "He wrote about the issues... just as [[Steve Taylor]] did, and just as [[Rez Band]] did when they started. These artists who originally started talking about the issues of Christianity now have no place in the market, because now the market has become songs of confirmation. And it almost makes it seem as though something we're doing is unheard of, and maybe not even Christian." | ||

+ | EDL was founded in 1992 as "Every Day Life In Southern California." | ||

+ | One reviewer said that the album' | ||

+ | The band received criticism from churches for their unusual sound and the content of their albums. In one incident after a show, frontman Cookerly was surrounded by a crowd of Bible-bearing teenagers who told him that his actions were a reflection of what the Antichrist would do. "I cried a lot that night," | ||

+ | //American Standard// was named for the toilet manufacturer. The album contains social criticism aimed at society, as explained by the lyricist: "our standards have slipped. They' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Production of //American Standard// was handled by [[Michael Knott]]. One reviewer found that the songs "tend to mesh into one another, creating the 'one long song' effect... the best way to tell each separate track apart is the tempo and length of screams," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Their 2000 release //Moment of Clarity// marked a slight change in sound for the band - a turn toward a pop and rock oriented sound. //HM// found that change to be subtle, but enough to commercialize the music. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After //Moment of Clarity// was released, the band was courted by major labels including Roadrunner Records. They eventually signed to a Universal imprint, but that deal folded when Universal restructured and eliminated that particular subsidiary. The band fell back to KMG, which had then been resurrected as Fashion Pop Records by Frank Chimento, releasing an eponymous album in 2001. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since this time nothing has been heard by EDL. Though there was no news on whether EDL has disbanded or just put on hiatus, Wilkins, Weaver and Guitarist Mike Nociasa had all joined Klank' | ||
