5ive

This was a pre-talent show Britain where the shelf life of boybands extended past a debut album a Britain approaching the millennium.

The teen-band idea itself implies that after their teenage years the members of a band like this should give it up, so one must ask what was the thinking behind this tour?

Reformed earlier this year for the hugely successful ITV2 documentary The Big Reunion the boys are back to show us that they can still sing and bust a move.

5ive for me is what One Direction is to every girl today. 5ive was the soundtrack to my late childhood/early teenage years and hands down my favourite boy band growing up. Being a 90’s kid myself, I was exposed to a decade where super glossy power pop groups were in their absolute prime dominating charts all

With more guilty pleasures that anyone else I’m sure would care to admit to my preferences in pop music are sung loud and proud and have remained unchanged in the last 20 years.

This sense of nostalgia for many tonight is felt early on with women lined up around the block chattering about how much they listened to the band’s albums when they were in early high school.
