Blurring the lines of distinction between sassy and spiritual, they forged their name, sound, and mission statement right in front of their fan base, rather than in the confines of a boardroom. Within months of coming together as a group, they were headlining concerts and finishing pre-production for their first full-length album with companion DVD. By the winter of 2006, in just five days, the entire tracking session for their debut CD/DVD "Roots Revolution" was completed. Striving for a timeless quality, the band recorded together live off the floor, sometimes capturing the essence of a song in just one take.
With their rootsy blend of funk, reggae and old school gospel, 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.
Now signed to InPop Records, with their latest album "Salvation Station" released February 2008, NWS enters a new chapter in their lives and their careers. Four sons of the New World and their story has just begun.
*New album drops February 2010, featuring the Toronto Mass Choir!*

- Joel Parisien
- Josh Toal
- Rich Moore

WORKING MAN
newworldson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get things done
Work for the Holy Ghost,
Work for the son.
I am a working man,
Oh yes I am
I am a special agent of the lamb.
I'm gonna wear your robe,
I'm gonna wear your righteous mane
Wherever I go.
You're gonna light my candle
Son your gonna make it shine,
Your gonna lead me to the throne,
Brother testify!
I was born in the city
I was born in the north,
I was born in the Autumn time,
Lord only knows what for.
I was born when leaves turn red
Born when things were dying.
But I was born with a big ole mouth,
Brother testify!

One of the most fun and groovin' riffs in history. I love pulling into work in the morning with this cranked up in my truck.
