Newsboys

Newsboys (sometimes stylised as newsboys) is a Christian rock band originally from Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia, and now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Since its founding in 1985 by Peter Furler, who departed the band in 2009, and George Perdikis, the band has released seventeen albums, six of which have been certified Gold. The band consists of lead guitarist Jody Davis, keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein, drummer Duncan Phillips, and rhythm guitarist, bassist, and lead vocalist Adam Agee; no founding members are featured in the current line-up. In addition to performing music, the band has appeared in the films God's Not Dead, God's Not Dead 2, and God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. Newsboys was cited by CCM Magazine as one of the most influential Christian bands. In June 2025, following allegations of sexual assault made against Michael Tait, many radio stations removed from rotation DC Talk and Newsboys (with whom Tait was the lead singer from 2009 to 2025).
