Living in a media saturated world where sensationalism is the norm, most of us respond to hype with great cynicism. When Newworldson burst on to the scene in 2007, they might as well have ridden into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
The rhetoric surrounding the band at their coming out party in Nashville for Gospel Music Week bordered on messianic. This was the group with a fresh new sound that was going to revitalize the business. Their label president [Dale Bray, Inpop Records] pitched his new signing in a most unapologetic way saying, "If you don't get it, you don't get it!" Word quickly got around about those four Canadians that scored a standing ovation from the world's toughest audience: the music industry.
The buzz train didn't stop there. Back home they were nominated for two JUNO Awards (the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy) for Gospel Album of The Year (2008, 2009) and presented with four Covenant Awards for Roots Album of The Year (2007, 2008), Best New Artist (2007) and Group Of The Year (2009) by the Gospel Music Association.
When their self-produced recording "Salvation Station" was released world-wide in February 2008, it elicited unanimous critical acclaim. Christian Retailing magazine said "if this album isn't at least nominated for a Grammy next year, it will be a shocking omission - it's just that good. Christianity Today voted Salvation Station #3 on their list of Best Albums of 2008.
In the fall of 2007, the band was invited to open for the newsboys on their hugely successful GO Tour across America. Though their name was circling within the industry, they were virtually unknown to music fans around the country. Undaunted, they took the stage by storm night after night, blindsiding the crowd with the opening bars to their hit song 'Working Man' (which soon shot to Number 1 on the Gospel Music Channel's video charts).
Seeing how rapidly the band was winning fans, the newsboys asked Newworldson to join them again on the tour's spring leg the following year. Doors opened internationally in 2008 when they were booked to headline festivals in Australia, Germany, Holland and Sweden.
Right in the middle of a world tour, Newworldson returned to the studio in 2009 with the same team that helped make 'Salvation Station' such a critical success, including veteran engineer/co-producer Justin Koop (Silverstein, Finger Eleven) and Grammy-winning mix engineer F. Reid Shippen (India.Arie, Jonny Lang).
Inspired by their experiences playing arenas and festival main stages, the band captured an even bigger, more dynamic sound than their previous effort. The up-coming new album, slated for release in February 2010, showcases a leap forward in songwriting, confidence and ferocity.
Determined to live up to their reputation as the must-see-live band of the day, the four members of Newworldson come together with all the force of an orchestra. The infectiously kinetic rhythm section of Mark Rogers (drums) and Rich Moore (bass/vocals) crossbreeds contemporary grooves with old-school timbres like Moore's upright playing and Rogers' weathered Slingerland bass drum circa 1930's. The message is delivered by the tandem vocals of frontman/keyboardist Joel Parisien and singer/guitarist Josh Toal, mixing Spirit-filled lyrics with an atmosphere of sheer exuberance.
Looking ahead to a new decade, Newworldson will be touring internationally in support of their next release, expanding their fan base into new territories (United Kingdom, New Zealand and Scandinavia.) Plans also include revisiting major festivals all across North America, like Kingdom Bound and the Ottawa Bluesfest. Buoyed by the early support of their first single 'There Is A Way', which peaked at number 1 in Canada, and number 2 on the US Billboard Magazine's Christian Music Charts, Newworldson are excited to see their profile growing worldwide.
Four sons of the New World and their story has just begun.
Trinity ftL is a Christian Rock band based out of West Michigan, who's sole desire is to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Psalms 95:1 says 'O come, let us sing to the Lord: Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.' That is what they are all about. Making a joyful noise to our Creator.
Trinity ftL is made up of 3 members who just so happen to be brothers. Brandon plays Guitar and is the lead singer. Bryce plays the drums, and Brady is the backup singer as well as the bass guitarist. Already playing together as a band for 5 years now, the band has learned so much about themselves as musicians, as well as their purpose in life through the ministry of Jesus Christ. Over the 5 years that they have been together they have played in many venues and churches in Michigan and across the nation.
In 2005, they placed in the top 25 in the nation at the Assemblies of God Fine Arts Competition in Denver, CO. The very next year they placed in the top 15 in Orlando, FL, while winning the top prize in the state of MI. The band has played in around 12 battle of the bands over their career, placing in the top 3 in each competition, and winning in 4.
They have also had the pleasure of opening for bands such as Sonic Flood, The Wrecking, and The Larry McCray Band, and have shared the stage with bands such as Fireflight, Stellar Kart, and many others! Though placing and winning competitions are a great honor, they feel that their ministry is to solely exalt Jesus Christ and reach the world with their music. They would rather see, from the gifts God has given them, the salvation of one opposed to the wealth and fame of themselves. We as people are living in a lost and dying world, and Trinity ftL believes that God has given them something that they need to share. Music! Answering the call - Trinity ftL
'Matt Moore's music has the ability to meet people where they are at and connect with their very heart and soul. His passion and creative ability to touch the core of a person with his music is what sets him apart from other artists.' Shannon Marden, Youth Director - Coleman Wesleyan Church (Coleman, MI)
It's difficult for a young male singer/songwriter to set himself apart from the crowd in a genre that is already packed full of talent, but that is exactly what Matt Moore has been doing recently with his powerful original music and engaging live performances. Emerging from a small Midwestern town in early 2007, Matt has hit the ground running with his unique songwriting and dynamic stage presence. Though previously best known for his electric guitar work in various hard rock bands, Matt has found a true love for connecting with people in a much more stripped down and intimate setting.
His songs are the story of his life, often touching on topics such as love, relationships, struggles and his own personal faith. Matt combines honest and vulnerable lyrics with his passionate guitar playing to create an emotional and memorable experience. Matt Moore's music is often compared to such modern singer/songwriters as Howie Day, Damien Rice and Shawn McDonald, as well as various modern rock acts including Matchbox 20 and Vertical Horizon. His unique blend of acoustic pop music mixed with plenty of rock and roll attitude make Matt Moore an exciting new artist worth keeping an eye on.
