Christian Music Magazine

All-over people are searching for and watching the Mouth Like a Magazine music video and they're loving it. And yet no mainstream christian music magazines have yet to showcase the "raw rock" of Showbread. So whatever your favorite christian music magazine is, complain to them and get Showbread on their front cover. If you need a little inspiration, go watch the Showbread: Mouth Like a Magazine music video again.

Band History

The original lineup of the band that was first called showbread was Josh and Patrick Porter, Casey Belagorska, Travis Riner, and Davy Minor. It has been mentioned by the band that during this period they worked solely on covering contemporary Christian bands like Third Day, dc Talk, and Jars Of Clay. When the church they attended was less than thrilled with this approach, Showbread was left with only Patrick and Josh Porter, and Ivory Mobley to pick up the pieces. It was through these meetings that the additions of Mike Jensen (guitar), Matt Davis (guitar), and John Giddens (synthesizer) took place. Ortiz left the group in 2001 but does appear as vocalist on the independently produced and released record "The Dissonance of Discontent" and plays guitars on the "Goodbye Is Forever", he returned briefly to tour and run merch for the band in 2004, but was not featured in the hit Showbread: Mouth Like a Magazine music video.

Showbread: Mouth Like a Magazine music video

Showbread is one of many modern post-hardcore bands that have infused screaming into many different styles of music.
First, their two vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobley, trade off in dueling vocals which alternate between yelling, screaming, and singing.On occasion, Casey Eleson and his sheepdog have filled in for Mobley and Dies, respectively.
"The fans have never noticed a difference," reported Dies.
This effect, combined with the band's frentic live shows, has caused the band to occasionally be labeled as a "spazz rock" band. Second, they are one of the few post-hardcore bands that use a keytar. Third, they are known for wearing matching outfits when performing, usually in red and black but more recently green replacing red in support of their new album "Age of Reptiles," an aspect that causes many critics to label them as a fashioncore band. Fourth, in keeping with their campaign for originality in the music scene, the band generally does not refer to their music as a particular genre; instead, they prefer the term "raw rock." For instance, the song "A Llama Eats A Giraffe (And Vice Versa)" uses the two animals as symbols to represent conflicting views between Nihilism and Christianity. In fall 2004, they released their debut album for Tooth and Nail Records, titled No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical.
