Hey there. As far as the Engik/Christianity stuff you should go check out
sunnydayrealestate.com and read the band history stuff and its links. I've
attached a good file of FAQs to start you out. As far as other bands with
the same emotional intensity and style (i guess emo ia as good a word as
any), I'd heartily recommend Mineral, Christie Front Drive, Promise
Ring(earlier stuff), Cap'n Jazz, Get Up Kids (earlier stuff), At The Drive
In, Fugazi, and Rainer Maria for a start. These are all bands other Sunny
Day fans I've known have liked almost immediately when they first heard them
(this includes me, of course). Well, good luck, and enjoy.
