I live in Indiana, so I can't really tell you too much about the band. All I know is that their members are Ratty (vocals), Isha (drums), Monkey (bass), and they're still looking for a guitarist. They're an awesome old skoolish Christian Punk band. That's all I know, but what I can tell you is why I like them. I saw The Discarded for the first time at Cornerstone 2001. The Discarded were absolutely great. I WAS a big fan of MxPx but I even skipped the MxPx concert just to see them. The Lord was definately there. It seemed like the Holy Spirit was at work all throughout the week at the Underground Stage. Basically I support this band for the same reason I support Officer Negative... They set a positive example, they aren't afraid to speak about their beliefs, and they're doing a great job at spreading the word (with lyrics, words, and ations).

In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech that can not be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
