Plot
Grojband's rival band The Newmans are back with more adventures and getting ready to rock. However, they could have is not writing lyrics but finding the right inspiration for them like whatever adventure they had they could gather information together and create a song.

Main

 * Carrie Beff (voiced by Denise Oliver) - a 13-year-old leader, guitarist, and vocalist of The Newmans. She is also Mina's younger sister.
 * Lenny Nepp (voiced by Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) - the bassist and band manager of The Newmans. Also, he revealed that his name is not Larry.
 * Kim Kagami (voiced by Tajja Isen) - the keyboardist of The Newmans.
 * Konnie Kagami (voiced by Stephanie Anne Mills) - the drummer of The Newmans.

Supporting

 * Mina Beff (also voiced by Denise Oliver) - Mina is Carrie's 16-year-old sister and Trina Riffin's best friend. She is natural, a little bit mean and cruel, and always determined to make Carrie's life miserable.
 * Mayor Mellow (voiced by Kedar Brown) - The mayor of Peaceville, who is always seen carrying a picture of his mother around, and speaks in rhymes. He's good-intentioned and wants what's best for his town, but his ways to do it are questionable. He also has a somewhat short fuse, and he jumps to the conclusion too soon at times.
 * Buzz Newsworthy and Chance Happening (voiced by Dwayne Hill and Julie Lemieux respectively) - The news anchors of the Peaceville News, they are quick on the scene to cover important news events; however they have a habit of exaggerating the stories. They also sometimes have feuds over who is more proficient.
 * Barney (voiced by Rob Tinkler) - A very rich billionaire who owns multiple businesses around Peaceville.

Trivia

 * This time the Newmans have their new voices than the original voices (which they are voiced by Lyon Smith, Bryn McAuley, Sergio Di Zio and Tim Beresford) on the Grojband series, but these are the voices of the main characters:
 * Carrie is voiced by Denise Oliver and she sounds similar to Maurecia and Kitty Ko's voices.
 * Lenny is voiced by Kyle Harrison Breitkopf and he sounds similar to Greg/Gekko and Rusty Rivets' voices.
 * Kim is voiced by Tajja Isen and she sounds similar to Pony Tail, Jazzi and Betty Barrett's voices.
 * Konnie is voiced by Stephanie Anne Mills and she sounds similar to Lindsay and Vana Glama's voices.
 * Production funding is from the Canada Media Fund and the Shaw Rocket Fund.
 * The four main characters of Grojband do not appear in this show (but the characters mentioned in several episodes), but only Carrie, Lenny, Kim, Konnie, Mina and others.
 * At the end of each episode of the show, Carrie would say "Thanks for watching!".
 * Mina would be in lots of their episodes and we would see more interactions with her sister Carrie, or she wanted to be really mean (like her friend Trina) to her sister and the band and she went into Diary Mode in the show, just like on the Grojband episode "A Knight to Remember". Also in this show she should stand up to Trina and teach her some respect.
 * Stacey DePass serves as voice director and executive producer.
 * The episodes are directed by Joey So.

Poll
Is the Grojband spin-off (starring The Newmans) a good idea? Oh yes, it should exist! Maybe, why? No way, dude!
