Boldly redefined by their best-selling Born Again record, its three No. 1 radio hits, and a headlining slot on the world’s biggest tour first quarter 2011 (playing to more than half a million people), Newsboys released November 15, 2011 with their highly anticipated CD, God’s Not Dead. This rock-driven worship album finds front man Michael Tait and his band mates who’ve played together for nearly two decades – Jeff Frankenstein (keys), Duncan Phillips (drums), and Jody Davis (guitar) –with some of today’s most widely church-embraced modern worship anthems as well as several original and never-before-released worship songs written by some of today’s biggest worship songwriters.
This GRAMMY®-nominated and Dove Award-winning band has sold over 7 million units, garnered five Gold albums and 28 #1 hits. With last year’s release of Born Again, its first week out was the largest street week of their careers by selling an astounding 45,311 units and hitting #4 on Billboard‘s overall chart, charting above new releases from such artists as Sting, Justin Bieber and M.I.A. Its self-titled single topped the charts for 8 weeks, gaining close to eight million impressions to date.
The band is currently headlining their 60+city nationwide “God’s Not Dead Tour.” For more information about the band and the tour, please visit www.newsboys.com.
