Hot New Talent
They're sexy, cool and they're here to rock your world. Meet... Triple Eight

If you were wondering where all of pop's bad boys had gone, look no further than Triple Eight - five lads set to give the charts a much-needed injection of cheekiness with their blend of pop melodies and Five-style rough edges. Westlife may be the type of guys to buy you roses, but we'll be the ones snogging you up against a garage wall, grins Sparx, a tall Justin Timberlake look-a-like. But even though we look like bad boys, we're nice really - honest. We're not in it for girls or money - we're here for the music, says Justin, a sensitive soul who's been in bands since he was a kid.
And we're not about standing around looking pretty. We're into performing and working hard, adds Josh, a cute north Londoner who was once in a band with Ant Blue. Oh, and going out and having fun.
Ah yes, fun. One recent night's tomfoolery ended with an unnamed Triple Eighter running around wearing nothing but a Santa hat and a smile. It was so funny, laughs the youngest member, Jamie. On the road, you do stuff to amuse yourself, and Dave's the worst - he filmed his own version of Jackass in Sweden, and he's the one most likely to stagger out of a nightclub late at night.
David, a scruffy Scouse lad with piercing blue eyes, sighs, I don't know why, but trouble just seems to follow me around all the time.
Trouble or not, the twinkle in their eyes says that Triple Eight are going to be a handful when they hit the scene. Sparx smiles mischievously. We're here to raise the game, so you'd better be careful if you catch us on a night out!

Triple Eight's debut single Knockout is out on April 21st.

You can catch Triple Eight's brand-new video for Knockout on The Box, selection number 888.
