The Manchester boy band that broke up, reunited, and kept 'Back For Good' in rotation.
If you only know one, it's probably 'Back For Good.' For how they sounded after coming back, 'Rule The World' gives you a good sense.
Most people still know them for 'Back For Good,' that 1995 ballad about missing someone that outlasted the boy-band era. They formed in Manchester in 1990 with the kind of catchy melodies that made them a radio fixture, and after a decade apart, their 2005 reunion with Robbie Williams brought them back to recording and touring. Songs like 'Rule The World' and 'Meaning Of Love' show they kept writing pop tunes long after the initial hype faded.
They started in 1990 with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Howard Donald, and Robbie Williams, putting out early songs like 'Hold On' and 'You.' Robbie Williams left in 1995, the band broke up a year later, and they stayed apart until reuniting in 2005. Since then they've kept going, with albums like 'Progress' in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
