P.O.D. or Payable On Death was formed in 1992 and consists of Drummer Wuv, Bass player Traa, Singer Sonny, and Guitar player Marcos Curiel. Marcos and Wuv first started the group, then Wuv's cousin Sonny Sandoval joined soon after. Finally, Traa joined and completed the group in 1993.

P.O.D. have opened for the likes of Green Day, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Kidrock, and Cypress Hill. They have a contract with Tooth & Nail Records and average 150 shows a year.

I think P.O.D. rocks. They play the rage style music but keep it Christian. P.O.D. is a great influence on me. I have started a Christian rock band that will play the same style as P.O.D. and maybe you'll hear about us rockin' on MTV in the name of Jesus.   FWM Comment: this poor person doesn't have a clue about who or what God is really about.  This person says "They play the rage style music".  I cannot for the life of me figure how "rage style" can have anything to do with God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit nor the Message of the Gospel!

P.O.D. IS AWESOME BECAUSE THERE AREN'T VERY MANY CHRISTIAN MUSIC ARTISTS OUT THERE WHO WILL BE WILLING TO PLAY ON MTV AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT IS SO COOL HOW THEY ARE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME LISTENING TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC. NOW THAT THEY ARE AROUND THE WORLD MIGHT BECOME A BETTER PLACE.  FWM Comment: The world might become a better place because of this type of music?  If that is true, Katy bar the door!  We sure are in more trouble than I suspected. 

Read the lyrics to some of their songs which I have listed below and then let me know what you think of their lyrics as to whether they are Christian and praise God or what.  Send your comments from this link.

Lyrics to some POD songs. Whatever It Takes - POD CD: Any Given Sunday Soundtrack 1999 Record Label Atlantic   Lyrics whatever it takes, we gots to separate whatever it takes, all the trues from the fakes whatever it takes, this is how we show and prove whatever it takes, we ain't got nothing to lose whatever it takes face to face with aggression, demolish, abolish the opposition armored to be the stronger and conquer my competition this ammunition fuels a vision that makes decisions I told you once before but it's obvious you didn’t listen so listen carefully, for next time you want to quote me and take my advice, would be wise to not oppose me and learn your lesson, head this class into over-session failed the testing, you had no idea with whom your messing transforming the mindset, but how quickly do those forget one hundred miles and running ain't even broken a sweat until the death, we won't settle for nothing less no need to creep, you knew we was coming, but still you slept but it's time to rise, unleash the spirit from deep inside acting like you was down now that these two worlds collide better recognize, staring at me because you shook whatever it takes, is what it took this is our house this is where we live and ain't nobody gonna mess with us in our house   Draw The Line - POD CD: POD Limited Edition Bonus CD 2000 Record Label Atlantic   Lyrics Brothers and Sisters We're gonna draw the line to forget about the problems abroad But, in the end, we all have problems of our own Gangs, Crack, Racism, and many people don't have hope It probably don't matter much to you In the struggles, the time that we live But, you don't know your future, so you better take time to give Who's gonna draw the line? We're gonna draw the line Together, forever and ever You must be thinking, I can't do a thing But look at me, I help when I sing Where man can make a difference Like Caesar Chaves and Doctor King We all have the ability to release a positive ability Where the youth is our responsibility It's time to take a stand Who's gonna draw the line? We're gonna draw the line Together, forever and ever Brothers and sisters Where gonna draw the line to make people change Yo I'm optimistic, down with positivity But yo I'm realistic, this line will be drawn over night This is a struggle so prepare to fight Who's gonna draw the line?

Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough It ain't got to be like this Don't wanna throw up my fist, Don't wanna be like this Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist chorus Truly Amazing - POD CD: The Passion of the Christ - Songs 2004 Record Label Provident   Lyrics And I see amazing And I feel it too I wish you could meet her Cuz she comes and goes and when you see her you'll know Love Truly Amazing Love for the fallen Truly Amazing Heal the broken hearted Truly Amazing Love for the fallen And I know amazing And I feel her too I wish she could meet you But if you don't have the time, she might run off and hide away Love Truly Amazing Love for the fallen Truly Amazing Heal the brokenhearted Truly Amazing Love for the fallen Shine down your love! love!
