Boy bands unite for song, movie
Put down your crimper, throw on your belly shirt and grab your Discman because the sound of the 1990s has come back to life.
More than two decades since they all first slid on to the music scene with their frosted tips and coordinating distressed denim, members of famed boy bands the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, 98 Degrees and O-Town have lent their vocal stylings to a brand-new song.
Titled “In The End,” the track is a theme song for the upcoming film “Dead 7,” written by BSB's Nick Carter and starring Carter, 'N Sync's Joey Fatone, O-Town's Trevor Penick and Jacob Underwood, and a handful of other former members of the four bands.
With the pulsing beat, the pitch-perfect harmonies and catchy chorus, the track may be just as catchy as “Bye, Bye, Bye” and “I Want It That Way” combined.
While members of 'N Sync and earlier boy band New Kids On The Block have gone on tour and recorded songs together in the past, this is the first time members of these four groups have collaborated on not only a song but also a film.
While it was often speculated that the groups were rivals of each other, it seems nothing could be further from the truth.
“I wanted my friends in the film with me,” Carter previously told E! News. “What is more fun than riding horses and being zombies shooting things? Even as a kid I loved horror films. This was always something I wanted to do.”
