About

Newsboys (sometimes stylised as newsboys) is a Christian rock band originally from Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia, later based in Nashville, Tennessee. Since its founding in 1985, the band released seventeen albums, six of which have been certified Gold. The band is entirely owned by early manager Wes Campbell and consists of lead vocalist Adam Agee, guitarist Jody Davis, keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein, and drummer Duncan Phillips. Newsboys was cited by CCM Magazine as one of the most influential Christian bands.

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.
In June 2025, reports began to be published of sexual assault allegations made against Michael Tait, followed by a public statement by Tait confirming some of the allegations. As a result, Newsboys were dropped from their record label, removed from many Christian radio stations, and had the majority of their remaining 2025 shows canceled. They have not been active as a band since then, though they have not formally disbanded.
