Review
Once upon a time there was a band that had no name, they took the UK Christian music scene by storm, and had a fantastic beginning, middle and like all the best stories have a brilliant ending.
Last year thebandwithname announced that they would be ending after a successful 7 years, coming as a shock to many, and after other UK Christian bands announced they would end in the same year.
But thebandwithnoname are not going out quietly, and their last album, The4Points: The Best of thebandwithnoname is the perfect ending, ending it all with a bang and giving their fans...

Last year thebandwithname announced that they would be ending after a successful 7 years, coming as a shock to many, and after other UK Christian bands announced they would end in the same year.
But thebandwithnoname are not going out quietly, and their last album, The4Points: The Best of thebandwithnoname is the perfect ending, ending it all with a bang and giving their fans something special.
The4Points is a sensational best of album; in fact I would say it is the best 'best of' album I have heard. Not only does it feature 20 of the best songs from all their albums The Blitz, Schizophrenix and Dying to be there, it includes three brand new songs.
The three new songs are a fantastic parting gift from the band. The4Points which features LZ7, Pop Connection, Love and Joy Gospel Choir, Sanctified Gospel Choir, tbc, Shrell Perris, Blush UK, 12:24 and 4 Kornerz is one of their best songs and has already been a massive hit. Based on the 4 Points (God loves me, I have sinned, Jesus died for me, I need to decide to live for God) blended unexpectedly brilliantly with a rendition of the classic 'Oh Happy Day' pointing people to the truth, the message in this track is louder than the music.
The two other new songs, Heroes Fall and Space Cadet are also some fantastic tracks, a little different to their normal style, and are a sign of the strength of the band and give a little glimpse into what could have been.
The whole album flows well, and includes favourites such as Amazing Grace, Found and Lost, Misfit, Justified and a remix of Get Up. Along with the new songs, this album feels like a brand new one, it is the best album they have ever made. The End.
