Quote:
In an overwhelmingly Christian country, it may seem strange that Christian rock even exists as a niche genre; if rock better reflected American demographics, then secular rock would be the niche. But at a time when rock radio commands a dwindling core of listeners, and when major labels are struggling to create the multi-million-selling stars they depend upon, niche status might not seem so bad. MercyMe already has a devoted fan base, a ready-made touring circuit and lots of loyal album buyers. The Devil may still have the best tunes (for now), but can he match that business model?
