Launched as a new boy band in 1999, the group featured Brett Adams and David "Ollie" Oliver, who had both acted in TV's Byker Grove, and Declan Bennett joined when original member Jon had to quit due to illness. Within a year, they clocked up five UK hit singles and an album. Other members included American Dustin Strong, who joined the group as a singer and songwriter and toured live with Point Break before the group disbanded.
