Do You Feel..."The Love?": A Conversation with Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer

Secularity is growing ever-more popular amongst some music scenes. Thanks to some bands who have verbalized their beliefs on stage in an insufficient manner, it has almost become “uncool” to be open with fans about beliefs, religious or other. Not to name any names, but there are some very outspoken musicians, particularly in the punk scene (and who have been around for some 25 years…and who are Fat Mike of NOFX) who publicly detest bands (like Underoath) who profess their religious beliefs on stage. Having seen Underoath perform live, I attest, they do tend to push “the guiding light” on their audience; although, I doubt that is their intention.

Amidst dancey pop beats and high-pitched vocals, a multi-faceted musician remains, and his name is Bryce Avary. Avary is the brain and brawn heart behind The Rocket Summer. He also loves Christ; although, this may not always show through to listeners. Recently, I had a chance to probe Bryce on his Christian disposition, and more specifically, how it influences him creatively.
