Relatively quick post for now: Triple 8 were a British boy band from around 2003. The group started out with five members and released two singles, "Knockout" and "Give Me A Reason." The album even included a song written by Abs out of 5ive and, though it definitely reminds me of his music, it fits in well with the other songs, if that gives you an indication of what to expect. Sadly, the album is one of a bunch (why do so many acts insist on covering this song?) to include the song "To Die For." A few years later, with some members lost and a new one brought on, the group released another single, "Good 2 Go," but they've since split up.Knockout--unlike many boy bands, Triple 8 weren't afraid of big chunky guitar riffs, and this song definitely has them. Of course, they also seemed to be under the impression that they were somehow "street" (that should really be read as "we make music that's a little edgier than your typical boy band fare), but that shouldn't really be held against them, especially when it leads to songs with as much punch as "Knockout."
To buy Triple 8's single "Knockout," go here (physical) or here (digital).
Next up: see you all on Monday, probably with a Swedish or Finnish singer.
