East 17 - Dark Light

Facts 2012 reunion album from the British Pop band, formerly one of the most popular boy bands of the '90s. The album showcases the band's new transatlantic Rock sound reminiscent of bands like Kings of Leon and U2 and even artists like Brian Adams and Billy Joel. It's a brave move and one that's paid off on a record that's as catchy as Summer of '69 and as soft rock and big sounding as it gets. The band were recently reunited under the auspices of principal songwriter Tony Mortimer who won an Ivor Novello Songwriter Award for Stay Another Day, the song he wrote for his brother Ollie who committed suicide. The current line-up includes original members Mortimer, John Hendy and Terry Caldwell.
