Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Newsboys (sometimes stylized as newsboys) are a Christian Rock band of Australian origin, formed in 1985, and originally called "The News" before migrating to the US in 1987 and changing their name. Survived in obscurity until 1994, when a song called "Shine" suddenly caught on, catapulting them to the forefront of Christian popular music.Their music is pretty much everywhere on Christian radio, though songs with less of a "pop" sound don't get much play. Their style can be anywhere from pop rock, to slow ballads, to dance, to disco (especially Love Liberty Disco, natch). Their lyrics have religious themes mixed in with wordplay and weird imagery.Newsboys have changed their lineup quite a few times over the years: the only original member is frontman Peter Furler, who decided in 2009 to stop touring with the band - though he's still writing their songs and producing their CDs. He has gone on to pursue a moderately successful solo career in the Christian music scene.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })They've been produced by Steve Taylor since their album Going Public, which is when the band's fortunes really started to take off. Probably not a coincidence, considering that Taylor has been involved heavily in writing the band's lyrics and mixing their songs.
