Str8upbangin presents Bring Back The Band

The nineties recorded an unprecedented global explosion of the boy band phenomenon. That memorable era enjoyed lush and robust music that had a rich blend of pop and R&B from such groups like Boys 2 Men, Jodeci, Shy, Silk, Musical Youths and a host of others in the international circuit. In Nigeria, Plantashun Boiz, Remedies and Styl-Plus held sway. By the mid-2000s however, groups started to disintegrate or disappear totally, giving way to a new hip-hop generation that favoured solo pursuits. Today as the world welcomes new music from such phenomenal bands like Boys 2 Men and Jodeci in the international scene, Nigeria is not left out as some of our local boy bands have been making overtures at their diehard fans with new music. Even though the Plantashun Boiz’ reunion experiment turned awry a few years back, the fans have not given up hope and are still dying to hear new materials from the iconic trios: Plantashun Boiz, Remedies and Styl-Plus. It is against this background that Str8upbangin.com feels obligated to deploy its platform to organise an opinion poll to find out which band among the three most successful bands would be the most desired to make a come back in a poll dubbed #BringBackTheBand. It is our intention at the end of the poll to present the people’s verdict to the group with the highest votes, hoping that the ‘Voice of The Streets’ will prevail and compel the group to hit the studio.
