 +Please note that No Longer Music has been "passed on" to a new band that appears to want to keep the old fanbase while distancing itself from the band's past lyrics. They are currently harassing the wrong people trying to find anyone they think is related to this website to either get this page taken down, or to get all references to their new abbreviated band name removed. As one band member wrote: "Our heart is still to go outside of the church clearly share the Gospel. That said, we live in a time now where people are very negative ideas about Christianity and Jesus. For that reason, we aren’t overtly Christian online. Unfortunately this entry in your website gives people an impression of us that might keep people from coming to our shows and hearing the Gospel. We are 100% nonprofit and everything we do is motivated by the desire to share Jesus with people."
 +
 +To us, it is sketchy to keep ties to the old band like this - is this in order to keep the old fanbase while deceiving people about what they will find at the shows? Of course, other bands have tried to "trick" people into coming to concerts to be evangelized. This is probably giving people more of a negative view of Christianity than anything else. People, especially in Europe, value honesty and realness - not tricking people to come to a rock concert with an ulterior hidden motive. Nothing on this page would give "people an impression of us that might keep people from coming to our shows," but if these people go to a show and then find there was a hidden motive for the band? That is much more likely to keep people from really taking a moment to hear the Gospel.
 +
 +If you get one of these messages, please ignore it. Yes, it was sent to you in error, we apologize. But don't try to send it on to someone you think is in charge of this, as you might be incorrect as well. Encourage the band to be more honest and respectful of their fans instead. I'm guessing the 6 people that have visited this page in the past three months (according to it's stats) already know about the bands past. Or they are probably all band members and those they email erroneously.
