I don't think it's a joke. There is potential. These guys appear to all be beginners and don't really have a clue what is going on but are after an image. The singer needs to project more and sing in his key (after finding it) and maybe spend more money but most of all more attention on production value of the audio. One of the best and worst things for a beginning band is having "yes men" in the form of friends and family all around you telling you how you good you are and paying for your efforts. It makes you dillusional to the reality of how you really sound, which sometimes you need. Often times just hearing a recording of yourself can open your eyes, in this case it didn't. These guys are horrible (but won't always be, IMO) and have probably been playing less than a year. FWIW, my Christian Music radar was going off the charts.
