Boy Bands Are Back!
by Todd on Oct.21, 2010, under Music News
About every 10 years the next wave of boy bands start to surface from local fairs, small opening acts and of course the Disney factor. It looks like it’s that time again so get ready for the next wave. The boy band has been around for a long time most notable with the Jackson 5 and The Beatles. The two groups would set the standard for what a boy band could do and the frenzy they could build. Then the wildly funny boy band The Monkeys. You would later see groups like New Edition and Menudo, who is still going today. Menudo has the right idea by keeping the name and just changing the members when the wave hits. Then we move up into most peoples current memory of boy bands with New Kids on The Block, Backstreet Boys and of course NYSNC.
There are new groups that are popping up like Far East Movement and Big Time Rush or BTR have the same formula but try newer approach on the boy band. What will these new boy bands bring to the table? Far East Movement will bring a little Asian flare with a dance hip-hop feel. BTR is your typical boy band with the pop look and sound. If history holds true we will see at least 2 to 3 more surface before the end of 2011.
What do you think about Boy Bands? Are you looking forward to a new group of guys or do you want to hit fast forward?
