Newsboys
Newsboys are a Christian pop/rock band formed in 1987 in Mooloolaba, Australia (although they soon relocated to Nashville, Tennessee). Its core members, John James and Peter Furler, originally hailed from Australia where they played in a band together called The News.
Newsboys are widely considered one of the best bands in the Christian music industry. They have had numerous hit singles on the Christian pop charts, and two of their albums are considered among CCM's best: Going Public (1994) and Step Up To The Microphone (1998). They are perhaps best known for their 1995 hit single, "Shine". A double-disk gospel/rock album is scheduled for release in October.
