Black Carnation

Black Carnation

Black Carnation was an alternative Christian music group which released several albums including "It Remains The Same" on the Blonde Vinyl label in 1992. The three-piece band featured Jeff Seaver on guitar and vocals, Kendall Thomas on bass, and Craig Hoeve on drums. Seaver and Black Carnation also appeared on a compilation album for the Cornerstone Festival, and independently released the album "Hope".

According to a review in the Grand Rapids Press, "Seaver comes across as a budding David Byrne of the Talking Heads. He thrives on the same thought-provoking and even quirky lyrics and at the same time leads his band into some innovative and unusual song arrangements." (April 22, 1992).

Their very last concert, performed at Taylor University, was shut down midway by university officials because Seaver encouraged the student audience to disregard the conservative Christian school's no-dancing policy (which has since been lifted).

Since the band's dissolution, Seaver deconverted from Christianity and formed the [http://www.freethoughtassociation.org Freethought Association] .
