Home > P.O.D.

P.O.D. is a southern California-based rock band that emerged at the turn of the millennium, during the time when rock/ rap hybrid bands such as Korn, Linkin Park, Crazy Town, and Papa Roach were breaking big. One interesting aspect that separates P.O.D. from these other bands is that their members are Christian, though they avoid the label of Christian rock band. Even though they prefer to not be called a Christian band, they still do play Christian music festivals each year. The members of P.O.D. attribute much of their success to their faith in God.

The album's second single, "Youth Of The Nation," which was inspired by the Santana High School shooting , had similarly impacting lyrics and video, and, consequently, a similarly huge response at pop and rock radio during late 2001 and early 2002. The 2002 singles, "Boom" and "Satellite," were not hits on the level that the first two singles were, but were big with rock radio and MTV2 nonetheless.

In 2003, the band let go of its guitarist, Marcos Curiel , due to his side projects and their spiritual differences. Curiel was replaced by Jason Truby, who brings "an excitement and a fire to the table that will take P.O.D. to the next level". This evolution of the band is evident on their latest album, Payable on Death, a title which reflects the recreation of the band's style. The record morphs from their classic hip-hop lyrics, delving into reggae.
