Showbread is a Raw Rock band from Guyton, Georgia. They were signed to Tooth and Nail Records, but recently signed to Come & Live!. They are known for their spastic vocals and energetic live shows. They are also one of the few bands of their genre to use a keytar. They tend to change their style of music from one album to the next. The band had two full time vocalists until Ivory Mobley’s departure in 2007.
Josh Dies, the band’s primary vocalist, is also an author, penning The Spinal Cord Perception, Nevada, and The Insect. Showbread gained media attention when, in 2006, a fan made video for the song “Dead By Dawn” was featured on YouTube. The video was seen by the band and posted on their own site, giving rise to controversy over Showbread’s lyrical themes. According to Matt Davis, the band’s name comes from “a biblical reference that Jesus used to show how Christianity isn’t so much about rules but about love.”
Showbread is known for giving ridiculous statements in the press and in interviews. Most interviews, regardless of purpose, vary from nonsense to outright absurdity, becoming serious only when answering questions dealing with their faith. They have made many absurd claims, ranging from the accusations that Blindside’s members are vampire, werewolf, and zombie hunters, to accusations that Pillar’s band members are made of grass clipping. Despite the nature of many of these statements, it appears they were meant to be taken in a light-hearted manner.

the similar artists thing is based on what the listeners listen to. common bands that all of us showbread listeners listen to are put under similar artists.

chobitz: none of the bands you listed sound even remotely like showbread. similar artists are driven by listeners and tagging. so... duh.

Nah, it's pretty much just the religion thing

Maybe it's because Project 86 and As Cities Burn are post-hardcore bands?

I find it sad and miserably annoying that your guy's similar artists list is driven by religion and not sound Especially being that aside from DIES I dont think a single similar artist is similar, where is the locust, Blood brothers, mxpx, marilyn manson, ALL THE BANDS THAT ARE SIMILAR

that sounds solid, although I would enjoy more songs from Anorexia/Nervosa :D

I saw them play two days ago. Sorry that I don't remember song titles but they played a good mix of their older material. 3 from No Sir, 2 from Fear of God, 1 from Age of Reptiles, 1 from Who Can Know It, 1 from Nervosa.
