With the excitement of several new CDs coming out soon by artists such as Jimmy Needham and Superchick, and the joy of winning a special FreebieFriday prize pack on Twitter, I decided to learn more about Inpop Records, an independent Christian record company.
In my research, I was surprised to discover that Inpop was created by Peter Furler (former lead vocalist for the Newsboys) and the Newsboy’s band manager, Wes Campbell in 1999. The two started the label with the purpose of “discover[ing] the best artists around the world that understand the grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and who also have something new and unique to offer the world of Christian music” (Wikipedia).
The unique name of Inpop was born through Furler and Campbell’s desire to highlight the talents of international pop artists. Clever, isn’t it?Inpop Records has a great variety of artists on their roster, such as Newsboys (obviously, haha), Jimmy Needham, NEWWORLDSON, and Superchick. (For a complete list, make sure to visit Inpop Record’s website!). I was surprised and pleased to discover how many of my favorite artists were a part
of this label. Plus, there were several bands
I hadn’t heard of before who were listed. Guess I’ll be listening to Inpop’s music player, Inpoparazzi to get a sampling of songs from these bands!I’ll leave you all with a song from the Newboys from several years ago, Love Liberty Disco-one of my favorite songs of theirs.
