newworldson

CD only $12.99.

With a sound as diverse as its homeland, Newworldson is musically re-inventing what it means to be Canadian. The band, comprised of singer-songwriter Joel Parisien, drummer Mark Rogers, bassist Rich Moore and guitarist/vocalist Josh Toal, seamlessly weaves soul, funk, reggae and Gospel into a unique tapestry.

Hailing from the Niagara region, the band was named after the New World, hinter-land of the British, French and Spanish monarchies.

Newworldson passionately underscores the spiritual content of its lyrics whenever they perform, encouraging fellow Christians to be committed to a life of outreach and evangelism and hoping to see all God’s children united in praise, sharing fellowship and experiencing revival.

The band won a 2007 GMA Canada Covenant Award for New Artist Of The Year while their debut, Roots Revolution, won for Best Folk/Roots Album. Roots Revolution has also been nominated for a 2008 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year.

Newworldson is the soundtrack to an emerging spiritual revolution – a revolution that will define 21st century history.

Armed with inspirational lyrics and a fresh new sound, newworldson are rescuing soul music from being a mere genre or label and returning the art form to its sacred roots.

Singer Joel Parisien says “There’s a lack of community in people’s lives today. If you trace back the roots of ‘roots’ music, of ‘soul’ music, of ‘folk’ music, it’s about folks; it’s social music. We hope our fans become our friends. We hope they leave our shows feeling inspired. Our community is about uplifting people.”

To a post-modern world that revolves around celebrity and consumerism, a manifesto like that seems anachronistic and distinctly un-cool. But this kind of prevailing cynicism reveals the need for classic music with a universal message. Supply and demand, ironically, and newworldson stands poised to usher in a unique era of contemporary music history.

With their rootsy blend of funk, reggae and old school rock and roll, newworldson challenges a culture that venerates American Idol and disposable music in general. Undaunted, these unlikely defenders of soul are gracefully walking the line that fractures people into demographics, with passion and integrity.

Bonus DVD features behind the scenes footage, live music videos and more.

The album was nominated for a 2008 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year.
