ChristianityToday.com have given newworldson’s Salvation Station first five-star review of 2008. Says the magazine:

“There’s a special intangible to Newworldson that stems from their talent… It’s called fun, and it’s something that’s been largely missing from Christian music as of late.”

Here is what others are saying:

“If this album isn’t at least nominated for a GRAMMY® next year, it will be a shocking omission – it’s just that good.”
Christian Retailing

“Newworldson is our new answer to the common complaint that all Christian music sounds the same. Not any more, baby!”
CMCentral.com

”... [A] truly unique and honest work… Salvation Station is indeed a must-have for 2008.”
CCM Magazine (4.5 out of stars)

“This is a band to watch. Highly recommended.”
Phantom Tollbooth

With a sound as diverse as their 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.

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.

Salvation Station arrived at Canadian Christian retailers this week. If you have not had a chance to hear the album, visit the band’s YMZ artist page.
