 Four Living Creatures was an aggressively dark Christian rock band that gained some underground buzz in the early 1990's.  Influences included [[Scaterd Few]], [[L.S. Underground]], and Jane's Addiction. Joseph Albanese described Four Living Creatures musically as "The Sex Pistols mixed with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Black Flag."

 ==== Sweet Nectar ====
-Jeremi Gray Rodgers and Devon Thompson from Four Living Creatures were joined by Joe Turner and Alicia Luma to form a splinter band called Sweet Nectar.  Sweet Nectar released one album on R.E.X. called //Tired Face In Clown Paint//. This album contained two new songs and eight songs from //Proletariat Poetry//.  The liner notes seem to indicate that these eight existing songs were taken straight from //Proletariat Poetry//, rather than being new recordings. Joe Albanese was only credited as additional vocals and guitars on //Tired Face In Clown Paint//, despite the fact that he wrote nearly half of the material on the album.

 Some online articles reported that original Four Living Creatures member Willie Dizon was a member of Sweet Nectar at one point, but the liner notes to their one album do not indicate this.  Very little is known about Sweet Nectar after this point.
