Contemporary Christian Wedding Music

The Wedding (formerly known as Easier Said ) are a Christian band from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Musically, The Wedding fuses elements of Christian punk, Christian rock, Alternative Contemporary Christian, pop punk, ska, piano rock, and post-hardcore with their pop rock base. The band is signed to independent Brave New World Records, who also house Deas Vail and The Goodnight Fight.

The band has toured with the likes of Bachman Turner Overdrive, Bleach, John Reuben, The Goodnight Fight, Last Tuesday, Number One Gun, Anberlin, Spoken, Disciple, The O.C. Supertones, Superchic, The Fold, House of Heroes and Falling Up. Their debut album, The Wedding was produced by Mark Lee Townsend and featured several of their songs which became Christian radio hits, including "Move This City" and "Song for the Broken". Their sophomore effort Polarity peaked at #41 on the U.S. Billboard Christian Albums chart and #26 on the Heatseekers chart.

After former singer Kevin Keihn got married, he decided to depart from the band. Landon Ginnings filled in for him on vocals until their current singer, Matt Shelton, formerly of Letter Kills, joined the band permanently

Themes

The Wedding is musically eclectic. Their second release Polarity begins with an intro of ska horns (supplied by The Supertones' Dan Spencer) and hip hop beats. Elsewhere, the album delves into Celtic punk ("I'll Sleep When I'm Dead"), post-hardcore ("It's Time to Rock (OK?)") and a country female choir ("Fireworks"), as well as the band's signature pop punk nuances.

Lyrically, The Wedding use such themes as love, relationships, loyalty to the 479 Arkansas area code, confidence in God and working hard.
