Newsboys - ‘Entertaining Angels’
Newsboys was formed in the late ’80s around a core of John James, Peter Furler, and Philip Urry. Though early in their career the band was panned for a perceived over-reliance on religious clichés in their lyrics, Newsboys later understood secular music’s alternative revolution in the early ’90s for an image makeover, with great results.
The group gained six number one singles on the Christian charts, and have been featured in more secular media outlets than the average Christian band. Step Up to the Microphone, their first album for major label Virgin, followed in 1998; Love Liberty Disco appeared a year later. In celebration of the new millennium, the Newsboys also observed their own career with the greatest-hits package Shine…The Hits, issued in fall 2000.
