The Resume

    (1989- )
    Toby McKeehan (TobyMac)
    Michael Tait
    Kevin Max (KMax) Smith
    Recorded 'Colored People,' 'Jesus Freak,' 'Between You and Me,' 'Into Jesus,' 'Jesus is Just Alright' and 'Consume Me'
    Won 4 Grammys

Why they might be annoying:

    They met at Liberty University, which was founded by Jerry Falwell.
    Even though the DC was originally referenced as them being from the Washington, D.C. area, the DC was also short for 'Decent Christian.'
    After they played instruments for their first album, they stopped playing them and recorded only vocals for later efforts.
    They changed their name from DC Talk to dc Talk in the mid-1990s.
    When they released 'Jesus Freak,' they looked like a grunge band, and Kevin freakishly looked like Kurt Cobain.
    Kevin Smith changed his name to Kevin Max Smith, Kevin Max, and finally KMax in order to not to be confused with the director.
    When their music started to focus less on raps and more on sung lyrics, it didn't work for Toby, as he was more of a rapper than a singer.
    Even though all three have released solo efforts, they deny that dc Talk broke up.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They are a multi-racial group.
    Many of their songs deal with racial discrimination and reconciliation.
    They apparently found positive meaning in the negative term 'Jesus Freak.'
    They performed a diverse range of music from rap and soul to rock and dance pop.
    Unlike Amy Grant, their music has remained true to their Christian roots after they signed to a mainstream label.
    Their 'Supernatural' debuted at #4 on the Billboard Album Charts.
    They are one of the most successful artists in the gospel music genre.
