The punk revolution of the mid-1970s challenged musical norms with bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols leading the charge. But who would have thought that punk, known for its rebellion, would find a home in Christianity? Enter bands like Undercover and Alter Boys, who defied stereotypes and merged punk's raw energy with a powerful Christian message.

From the pioneering days of Tooth and Nail Records to the genre-bending sounds of contemporary bands we celebrate the diversity and creativity of Christian pop punk music. Learn how these bands continue to push the boundaries of the genre, blending punk, pop, and alternative rock influences while staying true to their Christian faith.
