1234-5678 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 "After much speculation, it's official — O-Town are O-Ver. According to a statement they sent to fan site Insideotown.com, the group will not continue on, but will remain "best friends." The decision was mutual, and each member has moved on to other projects: Jacob is working as a volunteer firefighter in San Diego, Dan is writing and producing, Trevor is studying acting, Ashley is recording a solo album and Erik-Michael is going solo and exploring acting." From MTV.com Let me be the first to say...........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As noble as that is, it seems like a small stepdown in careers. They were a boy band from a TV show called Making The Band that was on ABC. In other words they had the guys try out for the band. The thing was this happened just as the boy band craze was dying down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2003 ::awaits backlash for this response:: My name is Zack Malibu, and...I like O-Town. Now now, don't get me wrong, I'm not in tears over this. Just sorta surprising. Their CD last year actually did a good job taking them away from the fluff pop that Making The Band tried to turn them into, and more of a Top 40 pop/rock act.

Guest Doyo Report post Posted November 14, 2003 Was that the group Nick Lachey was in? No, Nick was in 98 Degrees...another boy band that broke up I wouldn't call them a boy band. They didn't dance much and their music had more soul than the boy bands. I don't think they've ever announced an official breakup, just a hiatus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 14, 2003 98 Degrees were more of a R&B band along the lines of the tempations and shit...Hell...I believe they were with Motown anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As noble as that is, it seems like a small stepdown in careers. I agree—what an asshole. Hey, were they named after Rocko's Modern Life? The city of Orlando. But I'm half-thinking I shouldn't have told you, because I got this feeling you don't really care. Now now, don't get me wrong, I'm not in tears over this. Just sorta surprising. Yeah, I know. I figured it was pretty obvious they were all upward mobility from this point on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
