»» NEWSBOYS / Not Ashamed
PRODUCER(S) Steve Taylor & Peter Furler
Star Song 8251
Contemporary Christian
Originally reviewed for week ending 12/19/92

Uncommonly talented Australians found the musical direction they needed with Steve (Chagall Guevara) Taylor's beat-heavy production and sardonic lyric bent. The Euro-beat "I"m Not Ashamed" is the one with the real crossover potential, but there's nary a weak track in the lot. Sales will be boosted by the band's manic touring schedule and wild, state-of-the-art concerts. This is fun stuff, well-played, and well worth a spin. ««
