Can you recommend any Indie Christian music?

They have to be Christian bands because he asked for Christian bands. Thus, recommending non-christian bands is both pointless and retarded. This is not complicated.

Dude.
Rotting Christ.
Of the music I listen to, lets think. Sol Invictus use some christian imagery, but they're pagans, so it doesn't count. Backworld are christian, and probably quite in-line with what you're looking for. They're hardly straight-forward though. Lots of spiritual metaphors and complex gnostic stuff, I didn't even realise they were christian till I checked their website (the guitarist was taught to play by nuns!). Also, to fight my own corner, though It's not precisely what you ask for, I don't feel it's mentioned enough that a lot of the classic metal bands are pretty christian, or at least have christian members. Dio and Iommi from Black Sabbath and Steve Harris from Iron Maiden in particular are big christians. Try tracks like 'Iron Maiden - Sign of the Cross', and 'Black Sabbath - After Forever' or 'Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell'. That's some good christian music, if christianity matters to you in your music. I certainly know some pretty hardcore christians who mainly listen to classic and power metal.
This doesn't stop Stryper sucking ass, of course.

No need for confusion. I'm not looking to be smug and/or self-righteous. I'm just interested in listening to a certainly genre for a bit. And since the genre is there I thought I would pursue it and give it a listen.
Of course anything can be "spiritual" and "meaningful" I'm just curious as to what "Christian bands", those who see Christianity as their label, are doing. Thanks for the reply.
And thanks to all those who have given me some ideas. I'll track some of these tracks down this week.
Cheers,
Jake.

The Misfits are very spiritual. About wanting your skulls and needing your skulls.
