Boy Banned are awesome! They look so polished and contemporary, with slick dance moves. It beggars belief that they haven't hit the big time yet. They are much better than JLS imo.

It's a baby step towards entertainment, they need to have alot more to offer.

They're awful! So cringey :/ and the production of their songs are cheap and dated.

That minor setback hasn't stopped other boy bands though.

I thought I'd seen some notice about them before.

The band is signed by Eurocreme, the european gay porn company responsible for the "boy" series of movies like Spy Boy and Dream Boy.

Ok, I was exaggerating quite a bit The video is horrendous and the guy singing the first verse looks like he wants to kill you
But I still think they are better than the likes of JLS

I think the main things are 1) THEY CAN'T SING and 2) They don't look like a boy band..

The majority of boybands may not all be great singers but they have to at least have one/two members with a bit of talent (Gary/Mark in Take That, Aston in JLS, Max/Nathan in The Wanted, Shane/Mark in Westlife)..

They look weird and everyone knows that in the beginning of the typical boyband career, teenage girls have to fancy you, want to meet you, buy hundreds of pounds on merchandise and I don't see many 13-16 year old girls going out to buy a poster with these lads on it..

Also Boy Banned, what a completely uninteresting, stupid and predictable name..

I'm not a fan of JLS post X Factor but to say that the pile of crap in that link is better than them is a joke.. Aston have more talent in him than all five of them put together..

I don't agree. I think JLS are the pits when it comes to boybands..so much autotune that they sound like robots.

Have to thank you for 3'36 of LMHO in the middle of the night but you cannot be serious about this band?
Boy banned are they called? it must be for a simple reason...

I saw them perform live in a gay club where I live. I was pretty drunk though and don't remember much about it. I don't think the people in the club were all that impressed to be honest, not a patch on Diva Fever who had performed the week before :/

The autotune is just the state of music today.. it's the newest thing like featured artists but people that watched The X Factor knows that JLS have talent, even if a little.. These boys have nothing..
