| About the bands David Crowder Band  David Crowder Band - the Dove Award-winning, six-piece, crafts compelling, progressive electronic rock band. Think Radiohead meets Linkin Park. Compare that description with the fact that some even call them a worship band. For those unfamiliar with David Crowder Band, who was named MSN.com’s 2006 Artist of the Year, the group’s earliest beginnings trace back to the 1990s when CROWDER left his hometown of Texarkana for Waco, Texas, attended Baylor University, and founded the University Baptist Church. Crowder–who has authored two books, 2005’s Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi and 2006’s Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, but Nobody Wants to Die or (The Eschatology of Bluegrass)–remains a Waco fixture, where he’s still involved with the church’s student-saturated congregation. The band may bear Crowder’s name, but all six members of the group are involved in the creative process. “We look at music as a conversation, and so all of us have input and participate in the conversation, and to make room for all six voices, you wind up with lots of layering,” Crowder says. “For me, I get bored very easily with music. I like music you can come back to and revisit, where each listen, there’s a new discovery. That’s been attractive and exciting for us, to try to create things like the stuff we love, stuff that’s enjoyable on multiple listens.”The Autumn Film  The Autumn Film has a voice you’d swear you’ve heard before, although the band was voted “Best Band to Come out of Nowhere” by The Westword. Tifah’s voice is completely her own. It’s a huge voice, like an old friend, telling you secrets one minute, reassuring you the next. It’s spiritual, soothing, soft, but powerful enough to fill a room. It leaves goose bumps over and over again, each time the opening notes sound. Listen at http://TheShipAndTheSea.com.
