biographical info
Upon first hearing Christiana (formerly Neck), most people comment on the shortness of their songs. In an age when radio hits are never less than four minutes long, a band whose compositions rarely pass the 2 minute mark must seem like an anachronism. But Christiana don't cut things short because they've run out of things to say, nor are they attempting some sort of 60's brevity-no, they'd rather not waste your time and get straight to the point. For Christiana, every part of the song is a hook. Once each hook has been stated, there is no need for unnecessary repetition. The song is over. More so than any other band I know, this band is defined by the songs and nothing else-okay maybe ear crushing volume. They don't jam. They play the songs. These guys don't have the patience for anything else.
