Walking down the streets of Suburbia, those passing by would stop and listen, for the grungy analog sounds coming from behind the white picket fence were in the hands of an ambitious teenager. Thereafter the electronic craziness ensued, epic dance parties, cheap liquor and moderately fast cars were all at hand. Life was good. Now it's time to shake up the scene and discover every sound in the funky spectrum.

EAST 17 – a biography
When East 17 stumbled into the Walthamstow limelight in late 1991 they had little idea that their rabble-rousing brand of boy-band pop would create such a storm.

Groove Armada is an electronic music group from Cambridge, United Kingdom, composed of two members, Andy Cato (real name Andrew Cocup) and Tom Findlay. They first came to fame with a 1997 limited single release, At The River (made famous after being used in various Marks & Spencer advertisements), which sampled "Old Cape Cod" by Patti Page. The song has since made its way onto numerous chill-out compilations.
Songfacts reports that Nashville pop rock band Hot Chelle Rae began with a meeting between singer-songwriter Nash Overstreet and guitarist Ryan Follese in 2005.

They were signed to Jive Records in October 2008, and then began work on their first album, Lovesick Electric, which was released on October 23, 2009.
