Tooth & Nail Records celebrates 10 years of punk fire -- and quiet Christian devotion
"It's an unissue," says bandleader Stephen Christian -- note the ironic (and yes, it's real) last name. "I try to make a line between my profession and my faith."
Listen to the record, though, and Anberlin's allegiance to Christ becomes obvious and unavoidable. By "Cadence" near the album's close, he's explicitly thankful for the "miracle" of being led to God.

"Because I'm a believer, it does eat through into my lyrics," Christian explains. "As far as going around telling people what they should believe or should not believe, that's not my thing."
As long as people are buying the records (a respectable 30,000 copies of Black Market have been sold to date, says Ebel), Christian can keep it all as "unissue" as he wants.
"My music is being sold at Wal-Mart and Best Buy," he says. "I'm getting placed right next to Aerosmith and Tori Amos, and I'm right there next to Andrew W.K."
