ShowbreadShowbread is a Christian hardcore band from the Savannah, Georgia area. They have recently signed to Solid State Records. Showbread is one of many screamo bands that originated in the early 2000s, but they are known for having several unique twists to their sound and their image. First, their two vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobley, trade off in "dueling" vocals which alternate between yelling and screaming (though occasionally they use melodic singing), which is sometimes seen in more "old-school" hardcore but generally unheard of in screamo; this effect has caused the band to occasionally be labeled as a "spaz rock" band. Second, they are one of the few hardcore bands that uses a keytar. Third, they are known for wearing only red and black clothing when performing; and all members of their band are very energetic during their concerts. Fourth, in keeping with their campaign for uniqueness in the music scene, the band generally does not refer to their music as screamo; instead, they prefer the term "raw rock". Showbread played at the Cornerstone Festival in summer 2004 and quickly gained a strong following. In fall 2004, they released their debut album for Solid State Records, titled No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical. No Sir was produced by Sylvia Massy, who has also worked with Prince, Tool, and Johnny Cash. Members - Josh Dies - vocals
