O-Town’s ‘Liquid Dreams’ Are Coming Back

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 9th, 2011

Pop band O-Town are back together and recording some new tracks. Four of the five guys are back, and they were spotted leaving a LA studio together, reports TooFab.

The pop band was created from the ABC show Making The Band, and 11 years later the guys are back. The group is composed of Trevor Penick, Jacob Underwood, Dan Miller and Erik-Michael Estrada. Ashley Parker Angel left the band and has not rejoined.

A source told TooFab the new songs are “coming great” and they hope to have an album out by the end of the year.

The question remains if they will be able to top their #1 hit “Liquid Dreams.” Remember that track?

NKOTBSB Perform on Dancing with the Stars

Posted by Elisheva Baer on April 28th, 2011

Despite the mediocre dance steps, less-than exemplary vocals, and cheesy end-poses following their performance, it was hard to not get excited as NKOTBSB (the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys collaboration name) poured their heart and souls into singing their new single, “Don’t Turn out the Lights,” during the results show of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night.

Backstreet Boys also performed their song, “I Want it That Way,” back-to-back with the New Kids on the Block performance of the ever-loved “Step By Step.”

While the singing was strained and not all that exceptional, the bands stuck true to the typical boy-band performance, with the synchronized dancing and all, which made up for the lack of singing-talent that was expressed. It was definitely exciting to see these two bands perform together once again, albeit the fact that it might be their last attempt at some sort of come back (although the DDub himself, Donny Wahlberg, only has about 180,000 followers compared to the c.400,000 of Ryan Butler, who is famous for none other than being Justin Bieber’s best friend, let alone Bieber’s own over-9,000,000 followers; it seems boy bands are just not as valued as they used to be).

Along with their joint album which is to be released soon, NKOTBSB will also be hitting the road together on tour (which this performance gives a small preview of), kicking the festivities off at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL, on May 25, and going through until the last show on July 6 in Anaheim, CA.

Their album, which will be released on May 24, will be comprised of New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys songs off their previous CDs, as well as three NKOTBSB singles; “Don’t Turn out the Lights,” “All in my Head”, and the “NKOTBSB Mash Up.”

Did you catch NKOTBSB’s performance on Dancing with the Stars? Watch the video below and let us know what you thought of the performance!

All-4-One Bringing Back R&B With No Regrets

Posted by Michael Levine on September 15th, 2009

All-4-OneIt’s been 13 years since All-4-One’s peak popularity in the 1990′s- winning at the 1995 Grammy Awards and having their hit single I Swear certified by the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) as one of the greatest love songs of the 20th century.

But now on the verge of resurfacing to the music industry and releasing their most successfully expected album to-date No Regrets on September 15, the four-man R&B band is ready to bring back a piece of work that caters to all.

“This record is a lot more exciting,” singer Jamie Jones tells andPOP. “We had a ton more leeway in the production and the writing, and just having the opportunity to make the record we wanted to make.”

“When we we’re making it, we agreed that regardless of the reception, we’re proud of it, and we’re happy with this body of work.”

Pearlman Must Repay $300 Million to Banks & Investors

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 17th, 2008

U.S. federal authorities and former boy band manager, Lou Pearlman agreed that Pearlman, must repay $300 million in stolen money to banks and investors on Wednesday.

According to MSN.com, Pearlman defrauded about 1000 people of $195 million in a phony savings program. He also took out $126.7 million in fraudulent loans from federally insured banks and swindled $70 million from people who believed that they were purchasing shares in Pearlman’s company.

Although Pearlman made millions in the nineties, he now has very few assets with which to repay investors and banks.

U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharpe said in May that he would reduce Pearlman’s sentence by one month for each $1 million he repayed. So far, Pearlman has not paid any additional money.

He is currently serving a 25-year jail term for fraud.
