Did you grow up in the 80's? The big hair, bright clothes, and of course, the awesome tunes. If you’re one of the millions of girls from that era, you probably remember the New Kids On The Block Music. This group of kids from Boston broke onto the scene in the mid-80's, but didn’t gain any real popularity until 1988.

When their first single came out, they were called a bubblegum band. Due to the fact that these kids were so young, their voices sounded much like the other kiddie groups that were emerging onto the scene. However, the boys despised the term, and wanted to do whatever they could to shake the stereotypical idea. With time, their songs took on a more refined sound, and in time, they created a sound all their own.

In 1993, the group split with their long-time manager, Maurice Starr, and worked on an album that they both wrote and co-produced. The problem was that it was much different than the music their fans had become accustomed to and sales of their album plummeted. By the end of 1994, the group decided to go separate ways, and said good-by to a decade of NKOTB.

In 2008, the group reformed and release a brand new album. However, it’s the original New Kids On The Block Music that not only gave millions of girls a reason to scream, but has allowed a whole new generation of women to introduce their own daughters to the music of the 80's.
