GRADING THE CHARTS
The Top 10 Songs in ... CHRISTIAN ROCK!
By Molly Lambert at1. Newsboys, "God's Not Dead (Like a Lion)"
Newsboys are a Christian pop rock band from Mooloolaba, Australia. I find that "Mooloolaba" makes a great substitute for any other exclamation. Mooloolaba! The Newsboys' keyboardist is named Jeff Frankenstein, which sounds awfully glam. The band was originally called The News, but changed their name in the mid-'80s to avoid any problems with Huey Lewis (yes, really). The Newsboys' first two albums were called Hell Is for Wimps and Boys Will Be Boyz. This is the lead single from their 15th album, God's Not Dead. The bridge sounds like Coldplay and then there is a whispered hardcore breakdown. The video is about how the main purpose of social media is arguing.
Grade: B
