The Newsboys
Who are the Newsboys?
A band. Woot.
What do they do?
They sing. Duh.
Ok, I'll do it right this time.
The Newsboys are a band that does "Contemporary Christian Music."
That is MODERN christian. This isn't no southern gospel quior like Bill Gaithor or something. (Bill is OLD!!) These guys are like, in their thirties, and they sing and play guitar and they ROCK!!! Not only that, they have high energy concerts, lots of flashing lights, confetti canons, smoke thigies...the list goes on.
Contemporary Christian just means modern christian, but can cover everything from rap to soft rock. Now I have no idea what the Newsboys type of mujic is, because I have no idea the differnence between a lot of the words. They're ROCK from what i can tell, not Hard Rock, maybe there's a song everyone once in a while that's soft rock, but they're rock, ok?
