Second, the notion of implicit religion draws attention to the themes and activities that generate meaning and purpose. This was exemplified by eight categories of events: scientific exhibitions, festivals, musical events, art exhibitions, theatre, markets, community events and installations. First, the notion of implicit religion softens the boundaries between the sacred and the secular. Two insights from the theory of implicit religion emerged as of particular significance. The conceptual framework draws on Edward Bailey’s theory of implicit religion to classify and to explore these events and installations. The empirical framework draws on cathedral websites to chronicle the wide and diverse range of events and installations hosted by Anglican cathedrals in England and the Isle of Man between 20. The present study contextualised these innovations both empirically and conceptually. High profile (and controversial) events and installations, like the Helter-Skelter in Norwich and the Crazy Golf Bridges in Rochester, have drawn attention to innovation and public engagement within Anglican cathedrals. Provocatively exploring the notion of salvation, redemption, forgiveness and faith through a Straight Edge lens, it suggests that while the study of religion as an abstraction is doomed to a simplistic repetition of dominant paradigms, being willing to examine religion as a lived experience reveals the utility of a broader and more nuanced approach. Engaging with questions of identity construction through concepts such as authenticity, community, symbolism and music, this book furthers the debate on what we mean by the concepts of 'religion' and 'secular'. Utilising a focused and detailed study of Straight Edge punk (a subset of punk in which adherents abstain from drugs, alcohol and casual sex) Punk Rock is My Religion argues that traditional modes of religious behaviours and affiliations are being rejected in favour of key ideals located within a variety of spaces and experiences, including popular culture. “…hypnotic…the atmosphere is cool, the melodies are catchy, and the vocals sound great.As religion has retreated from its position and role of being the glue that holds society together, something must take its place. “…almost has a Mission of Burma goes New Wave and straight up rock vibe.”- If It’s Too Loud The biggest compliment that I can give the album is that there’s nothing around like it at the moment.”- I Don’t Hear A Single “Lion On A Leash is a guitar riff-led rock album in which the pop is fighting to get out… a hurricane caught between 70’s Glam Rock and 80’s Indie. “…sounds like a cross between Husker Du’s jangly side and early, shoegazy Britpop…”- Brooklynvegan The band’s knack for melody is accentuated by lush soundscapes.”- Consequence of Sound The album “ Lion On A Leash” will be released March 26th via Wiretap Records. With enough material written for a full-length LP, Space Cadet recorded their debut album at Little Eden in Asbury Park in July 2020 with Pete Steinkopt (Bouncing Souls). What started as an accident is now on purpose. From their respective homes of Clinton, Massachusetts and Brooklyn, Dave and Matt have created lush soundscapes (“Forever for a While,” “Safe and Sound”), dark synth dirges (“No Accident,” “Lose Control”) and anxious anthems (“Scream for You”). Instead, the music was indicative of other sounds they’re into – post-punk, new wave, Brit Rock – not to mention their shared obsession with guitar pedals. What’s all the more surprising is that it wasn’t the punk of The Explosion (Virgin, Jade Tree), the band they formed together with friends in 1998. Friends of almost 25 years, Dave Walsh and Matt Hock had each been writing and recording eerily similar songs, completely oblivious to each other’s work.
