NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Third Day and Superchick have become involved in what appears to be the first Christian band feud.
It began when CCM magazine ran comments by Third Day frontman Mac Powell who said he "expected more" from Superchick’s latest release.
"I’m just saying that as a band we’re praying that they will reach their full musical potential in Christ," Powell was quoted as saying. "Don’t get me wrong, their music is great. But we wonder if it could be just 
a little bit better."
Superchick responded on their website by stating that they "forgave Mac and the band in advance of any apology" and that they were "believing God that Third Day will once again experience original creative inspiration so they don’t have to keep recording the latest hit worship songs with a hard rock sheen."
Third Day quickly responded on their own website, saying that "no doubt Superchick knows we have a new album of completely new, rocking material." But taking the words "no doubt" as a sly reference to Superchick’s secular sound-alike, No Doubt,
Superchick followed up with a backhanded compliment by saying that Third Day "continues to pioneer that born-again Pearl Jam sound. Good for them."
Some question whether the feud is real or a publicity stunt meant to gin up sales for their new albums, both released this summer. Others fear Christian bands may follow the trend and start full-blown feuds.
"Can you imagine Michael W. Smith having it out with BarlowGirl?" says one producer. "This could get real un-pretty."
For now at least one of the bands seems ready to put the squabble behind them.
"Listen, we love those guys. Superchick rocks. No harm, no foul," said Powell recently to the website GomerNews.
Superchick has yet to respond.

This is ridiculous!!! If it is a publicity stunt, that is worse than if it is an actual fued. Not that i expect christian bands to be perfect, I don't. I understand they are going to have fights and arguments just like the rest of us. If it is fake, I will be extremely disappointed in both bands (who i really like).
Good stuff those guys from Lark.
I don't know man. Can you imagine Smitty (Micheal W.) and Chris Tomlin dukin' it out UFC style? That would be hilarious.
People are dying , starving and these guys are going at something like this . How freakin crazy. I'm laffin my fat butt off , no wonder the world looks at us Christians the way they do. What next Billy Graham vs Benny Hinn. Maybe church vs church or denomination vs denomination. Oh wait we already have that. Come Quickly LORD JESUS
People.....Research what LarkNews really is. LARK!!!!
They are brilliant at creating faux news.
Chris had to go ruin it for all the rest of us... "in the know." We were getting a kick out this.
Is that the one and only SCOTT FOSTER joining in the blogosphere?
A.) I imagine it was all Chris could do to keep from punching his computer screen.
B.) Yes, Foster has been a blog stalker in the past but is finally owning up.
