This past weekend we gave homage to the boy bands of yesteryear.

The last two months have seen a sudden spike in boy band news with The Wanted and One Direction taking course to rule the world. The two British-Irish groups promise to bring us a boy band showdown like we haven’t seen since the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC went head-to-head for female hearts in the 90′s.

Boy bands combine two of our favorite things: boys and music, so regardless of time or age, it is a winning combo. Check out the post and launch the gallery to take a trip down memory lane.
