Only Boys Aloud, the world's biggest boy band, have unveiled a brand new behind-the-scenes video which looks at life inside the choir, ahead of the release of their eponymous debut album, out December 3rd via on Relentless/Sony Records.
The 141 strong choir from the Welsh Valleys are best known for achieving huge success on ITV1’s hit show Britain’s Got Talent, coming third in the final this year. After letting the world know what they’re about, they performed on ITV1’s prime time show Red or Black on Saturday - and the album immediately went to #1 in the Amazon Movers and Shakers chart after a massive jump of 5,270%.
In recent years, unemployment and the collapse of the mining industry had a huge impact on Welsh communities, causing a breakdown in the village communities which used to thrive. Musical Director and Founder for Only Boys Aloud Tim Rhys-Evans believes there’s a real chance to rebuild communities and rebuild a sense of pride, through music. So, two years ago Tim founded OBA with the aim to instil a sense of belief and inclusion in youngsters from the Valley’s.
The choir, made up of 141 young men aged 14 – 19, are now “living the dream” says choir member Tom Miles. With the imminent release of their debut album, Dan Urch of OBA said, “We’re all one big group of friends and when we’re together making music, magic happens”. Josh Escott of the group added: “I just really want to do my family proud”.
