The Crusaders, Mind Garage, The Concords, The Vigils, The Warriors, Victory Side Quartet, The Gospel 4, The Witnesses, The Travellers and The Envoys are just some of the many Christian Rock bands from the 1960's.
Flyleaf and Hawk Nelson are both Christian bands. However, they also have a secular label, which allows them to tour with secular bands, which makes most think they are not Christian bands.
