The 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 considered one of the most popular bands in the Christian music industry. They have had numerous hit singles on the Christian pop charts, including
Shine (1994), Take Me To Your Leader (1996) and He Reigns (2003).
In 2000, they helped start and headlined the annual, travelling CCM festival Festival Con Dios with Audio Adrenaline and The O.C. Supertones. It was known for featuring popular Christian bands and its motorcross stunts.
Steve Taylor has produced many of their hit albums, and several of the songs he has worked on with the band (such asBreakfast, Take Me To Your Leader) feature Taylor’s humor and quaint lyrics.
During the Step Up To The Microphone tour, the band featured the drums on a rotating platform that could tilt downward up to 90 degrees. In fact, there were two sets of drums and Peter Furler (the original drummer) and Duncan Phillips would wear seat belts, so they wouldn’t fall out, and have a rotating drum-off. This feature is still used on their tours and has grown to be quite popular.
In 2003, Jody Davis left the band to care for his sick daughter, Bethany. His replacement, bryan olesen, left in 2006 to work on his own band, Casting Pearls. The band announced in January 2007 that Paul Colman would be replacing Bryan.

What the heck is up with all of the hate comments on here? "newsboys are hypocrites" "Christians are hypocrites" nobody is perfect o-k? God gave us free will...a choice, to either, love him or not love him...Everybody sins, everybody does at least one wrong thing in their lifetime. you can ask God to forgive you..

Anyone who is a Dctalk fan has no room to talk...We liked Newsboys before tait because of their sound and their ministry and Peter Furler was the one who gave the Newsboys a particular sound that all newsboys fans enjoy. now that the sound is taken away..we're not sure what to think anymore...yeah Michael Tait has a great voice..but it just doesn't sound right it doesn't fit Newsboys, Newsboys had guys who had wide vocal ranges so they can sing Soprano notes and do Soprano harmony and the Tenor harmony also. That's one of the things I enjoyed the most about Newsboys. Tait on the other hand has a lower voice...and maybe he can harmonize..but he doesn't have the right voice!

Michael Tait compliments the Newsboys very well. I have seen him live twice this year and would recommend it to any Newsboys fan. The fact is that bands evolve. Any REAL Newsboys fan knows that there are is only one real Newsboy left anyway and he has decided to do strictly writing for the band. People need to just deal with his decision. No amount of whining will make Peter change his mind any more that it will make dcTalk get back together or Jesus return any sooner. It may surprise a lot of Newsboys "fans" to find out that Peter was not even the original vocalist. He was originally their drummer. True, he will be missed, but so will many who have donned the moniker, "Newsboy."

Michael Tait may not be the best fit for the newsboys, but the one thing he doesn't do is "suck". That man has pipes

"Amazing Love", It's one of the nicest songs I have heard on this site. Simple words, nice melody and rhythm. All in one to express the gratitude of our heart thinking about the tremendous grace of our Lord Jesus for us. Think you guys for accepting to share this treasure of your album with us. Who nows? Perhaps one day in eternity we could sing together this song to let flow our love for our Redeemer. Be of good cheer and don't give up. God bless you !

You guys were so great at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. I really had a great day at the park and then seeing you guys perform was amazing. If anyone is interested I highly recommend seeing Newsboys perform at Six Flags. Tickets are free with park admission! They are playing again on Sept 19th in LA.

Awesome, I'll get the chance to see them for a third time in January. I'll be able to form a real opinion on the combination of Tait+Newsboys. No matter what though, it still won't be as good as before.
