Underrated? They're, like, the third biggest Christian Rock band, as far as popularity goes.

Not underrated at all, it is a top 5 band! Try Nine Lashes.

Not underrated at all

2 Ashes Remain

Please listen,just listen.you'll come running back to vote! Because they are so good and underrated! Vote so more people can listen...humanity is missing out!

That album, What I've Become, it's gotta be top 5 favorite albums of all time.

The quality of music this band produces, rivals Skillet.

WITHOUT YOU it will be the END OF ME. Don't leave me ON MY OWN. RIGHT HERE you can CHANGE MY LIFE.

3 Disciple 13

If you happen to be in the Central Valley of California (Fresno Ca.) You need to come out the Disciple 13's
Free Concert Event. they only do about 3 Free concerts a year this one is at Peoples Church(Student Ministries Building, 7172 N Cedar Ave, Fresno Ca. 93720 at 7pm. For the last 5 years they have a free raffle and give away a brand new Electric guitar at this summer concert this time I hear they are giving away two guitars and a keyboard. I am looking forward to this one gonna win that Guitar.

Isn't Disciple 13 and Disciple Thirteen the same band well I will vote for them twice. If your struggling with something Disciple 13 has a couple of songs that will touch you, It did me

This bands sound really speaks to a lot of us who struggle with bad decisions we have made and would like to change our lives. The messages are real world stuff.

Their live show is awesome, their music speaks of recovery from whatever you struggle with through God. the musicians are top notch.I heard them at a Celebrate Recovery concert a few years ago.

4 Fireflight

First of all that sound they have is awesome with the bass and power cords and then you add dawns vocals and your like can it get better and it does when you hear the lyrics. WOW.. When I received christ I kinda though my music was gonna be organs and blue hair but that's so not true. If your needing something new try fireflight and turn it up loud. Thanks kyle

What can I say? They're on my playlist I pump while driving transit bus, and I have people who have taken their headphones off to listen to them, and several people ask who they are. That says a lot. Great lyrics, great vocals, great music that is well above the same old 'pop' radio.

5 We As Human

Prodigy Band of the legendary John Cooper. Twisted sound and good feeling behind the lyrics, give em a listen!

6 Red Red is an American Christian alternative metal/alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. The band was formed in 2002 by brothers Anthony Armstrong (guitarist) and Randy Armstrong (bassist), along with lead vocalist Michael Barnes.

Calling Red underrated is like calling Eminem underrated. In other words, not underrated at all. They are one of the biggest Christian rock groups there are!

Maybe not super underrated in the Christian world, but really underrated in the real world.

Between Red and Nine Lashes.

7 Manafest Christopher Scott Greenwood, better known by his stage name Manafest, is a Canadian Christian rapper and rock artist from Pickering, Ontario.

Manafest is one of my favorite rock artists. It surprises me that he isn't as popular as he should be. No Plan B, Human, and Renegade are my 3 favorites from him, but he has a lot of awesome songs.

Best three songs from Manafest are- Impossible, Bring The Ruckus, and Avalanche

Agree he's underrated and amazing check out the fighter album it amazing

Technically a singer.

8 STRIA

They have such a beautiful tone and voice, they deserve more spotlight!

9 Decyfer Down Decyfer Down is a Christian rock band formed in 1999 and based in Morehead City, North Carolina. Until 2002 – the year that Christopher Clonts joined the band – they went by the moniker Allysonhymn (pronounced All-eyes-on-Him). Decyfer Down is well known in Christian music, but the band is also known for their mainstream success, having toured with bands like Puddle of Mudd and Breaking Benjamin.

They are so underrated. They have released four albums and I must admit all of their songs are great. Their post grunge style is great. And I gotta hand it to TJ Harris.

I would vote Red but they aren't really underrated but Decyfer Down is fairly underrated and they are pretty stinkin good

10 Anberlin Anberlin was an American rock band formed in Winter Haven, Florida in 1998. Since the beginning of 2007, the band consisted of lead vocalist Stephen Christian, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassist Deon Rexroat, and drummer Nathan Young.

Extremely underrated, they are simply amazing!

The Contenders
11 Sanctus Real

Their songs talk about everyday struggles and how to deal with them with God's help. Very uplifting and encouraging!

These guys ARE AMAZING! Enough said!

12 Demon Hunter Demon Hunter is an American Christian metal band from Seattle, Washington, started in 2000 by brothers Don Clark and Ryan Clark. Although the brothers created the band together, only Ryan remains, since Don left the band to take care of his family.

Demon Hunter is a metal band, not a rock band. However, they are one of the best Christian bands out there. Alongside Manafest they are definitely underrated.

13 Icon for Hire Icon for Hire is an American rock band from Decatur, Illinois. Formed in 2007, the band's current lineup consists of singer Ariel Bloomer and lead guitarist Shawn Jump. They released two EPs independently before signing to Tooth & Nail Records, through which they released their first two albums: Scripted in 2011 and Icon for Hire on October 15, 2013. Their third album, You Can't Kill Us, was independently released on November 25, 2016. Their fourth album, Amorphous, was released on February 19, 2021, also independently. Their fifth independent studio album, The Reckoning, was released on September 30, 2022.

Best band ever!

15 X-Sinner
16 Nine Lashes

What this lead singer does with the Pre-Chorus/Chorus parts blows my mind. He merges them seamlessly.
---Clay---

Anthem of the Lonely should convince anyone.

Anthem Of The Lonely is their best song.

Should be higher.

17 Living Sacrifice Living Sacrifice is an American Christian metal band formed in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1989. Over the years, their music has evolved to encompass various styles, including thrash metal, death metal, and metalcore.

19 Six Feet Deep
20 The Classic Crime
21 Samestate
22 Owl City Owl City is an American Synthpop/Electronica project created in 2007 in Owatonna, Minnesota; it is the most successful of several projects by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young.

I wish more people knew that Adam is a Christian and a lot of his songs are Christian to like Shooting Star, Galaxies, and even Tidal Wave.
Vote him up.

He may not be underrated per se, but his Christian songs definitely are. You're Not Alone is a pretty good example.

He is actually a Christian singer, not just a Christian who is a singer.

23 The Protest

I Bet No One have Heard Of This Band Check them Out they Have A New Album Called Legacy Coming Out On July 13

24 Anthem Lights

Caleb, Joey, Alan, Chad

25 Downhere

"Here I Am" is a great song, their songs always give me goosebumps! Such a good bang with no airplay or popularity/exposure! Definitely underrated.

They only play two of their songs on the radio, they should play more, like all of them are good for the radio.

Maybe not what you'd consider "rock," more like alternative rock. But still more underrated than TFK and Red.

Little to no Airplay. Listen to Last Amen and Last Night's Daydream.
