New Band Alert! Kingsland Road.

L-R Connor, Josh, Matt, Thompson and Jamie.
Who remember these cheeky chaps from The X Factor (UK) 2013? Well if you don't remember them, or you are completely oblivious as to who they are let me give you a run down. 
Kingsland Road (originally Kingsland) are an English boy band formed in 2012. The band was originally made up of Matt Cahill, Joe "Connor" Conaboy, JJ Thompson, Jamie Scott and Josh Zaré. They finished in ninth place on the 10th of The X Factor in 2013.
Kingsland Road released their debut single "Dirty Dancer" in August 2014, and this will, hopefully be followed by their debut album in January 2015.

Kingsland Road's debut album is scheduled for release in January 2015. Their debut single "Dirty Dancer" was released on 10 August 2014 and debuted at number 85 on the UK Singles Chart.
On 7 October 2014, it was announced that Kingsland Road had signed a record deal in the United States.
On 22 October 2014 the band announced via their internet site that Jamie Scott had quit because "the boy band life isn't really for him". The band was left with Matt, Connor, Thompson and Josh.
