In an interview with Alarnet TV, a no longer aired Christian music entertainment talk show, Kevin Max is asked if he was in "some sort of boy band, back in the day." He responds with a simple yes, and gives a brief explanation:
"I've always been into rock 'n roll, but the other two guys were in such reverse musical patterns at that time, that I think we came out as this, this thing that nobody could really put their finger on, and go, is it Pop? Is it AC? Is it a boy band? Is it R'nB? Is it Hammer? You know, they couldn't figure it out."
First, let's ask ourselves what constitutes a band as a boy band.
1) Limited creativity and overall input in direction of music.
2) When said band members don't play any instruments.
According to Allmusic.com, the three members of DC Talk were not comfortable playing instruments on their recordings. Instead, they decided to contribute only vocals to their albums.
Because of this, I am skeptical as to the level of which each member contributed musically and creatively, to the creation and production of each piece of music. Is DC Talk just a moniker for *Boy Band?
I suppose it's a viable conclusion to come to, if such a conclusion can actually be made. After all, I don't know any of the members personally, and aside from pieces of data here and there, the question remains unanswered. However, this I know: I will never listen to DC Talk again. I MEAN, the same again.
