Flyleaf is such a curious band to me. They were essentially Creed for the 2000's wave of pop-punk, trying to lean into being a christian rock band without having to openly say so and face the negative perception that came with. I think they existed so kid in the suburbs who wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter or listen to Paramore could convince their mom to buy them the cd at Walmart on a Sunday morning after church. Lacry Sturm always tried to dodge having to call Flyleaf a christian rock band, but was also open about pushing Christian theology and playing at a lot of Christian rock festivals. It just always felt like they were trying to have it both ways, but their albums during the Bush years were very successful, so i guess it worked.
