Punk band headnoise peace last days final hour news prophecy update
Lineup
Headnoise had several lineup changes over their long career, but the core of the band were husband and wife team Robert & Edie Goodwin (on bass and vocals, respectively), and Sid Duffour (on guitar).
Members
Musical Style and Beliefs
The band is characterized as being extremely bold and uncompromising about their faith, with guitar-driven, powerfully fast, yet sophisticated hardcore punk music and provocative Christian lyrics. Their songs deal with a range of themes including modern pragmaticism, social injustice, personal struggles, and practical spiritual insights.
Relocation to Chicago
Originally based in Orange County, California, Headnoise relocated to Chicago in the year 2000 to join Jesus People USA (aka "JPUSA"), an intentional Christian community and urban ministry. There, they became one of the top bands on the JPUSA-run record label, Grrr Records. The band also became a mainstay at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois where they became the only band to play every single year following their first appearance.
Retirement and Reunion
After a decade of touring and releasing five albums, Headnoise announced their retirement in the winter of 2005, citing a desire to focus on their families and other ministry callings. However, the band did re-form shortly thereafter with only the Goodwins as original members. This incarnation lasted from 2011 to 2012, resulting in sparse shows and one short tour. The band never did write and record the long-awaited follow-up release to their last record, “For Now We Know In Part:1”.
Legacy
Headnoise is acknowledged by Christian and secular fans alike for bringing a legitimacy and higher level of talent and integrity to Christian punk genre.
