Overload aka "New British Boyband"
For those who don't know, they're another bunch of One Direction wannabes (with exact looking hair cuts too) who are always doing follow spree's on twitter but i'm yet to hear anything by them or see the big stations such as capital or radio 1 mention them either.
Do they actually have any music out at the moment? For those interested, they only seem to have a twitter page: https://twitter.com/overloadgb |

Oh fantastic. Yet another reason to hate the f*cking 'great' British music industry.

They have Union J's old manager. Have they even released any music, or the main part, have we even heard them sing?
Union J were better than 1D were during X Factor vocally, but Carry You was a bit weak compared to What Makes You Beautiful, but then again there's more to come. They do look like they've been made up as 1D/Union J look-alikes - probably because their music's not much different. |

I seem to recall posting a while back an amusing advertisement they had going for a fourth member. Pretty much said no experience needed, just good looks...
I still think Duncan Bannatyne's boyband is the worst. |

They have a good strategy on twitter. You never know they could use this well to their advantage to gain a solid following and make a strong impact on their debut release.

I tell you what they should have done, go on BGT or XF looking like they are, and sing something completely out of the ordinary. Classical, girlband song I dunno, but something like that is going to get people to like them.

Why do boybands members always sing in that same style of "high pitched whiny voice"? At least that gay guy from Union J sings in a slightly different style. There was also that guy form Westlife who sung in a lower register... i just think the thing about girlbands is that when you hear their single voices and harmonies you can instantly recognize them where as boybands always seem to be more about the image and having their fans write crappy fanfiction.

They were on BGT (as a five-piece - they ditched the twins after about two months). Still think they were better and stronger as a five-piece.

Must be the fact that they are a boyband that immediately attracts fans - something I also will never understand as I always enjoyed some of them ONLY if they were first and foremost, great vocalists. |

I don't think these guys were on BGT, were they?. If you're thinking of Connected, they renamed themselves as 'Reconnected' after they went as a three-piece without the twins
