Where are they from?
After Romeo are from America.
Who are they?
According to their Wikipedia entry, LA-based quintet After Romeo are a "pop — rhythm and blues band", which is certainly one way of describing them. Their YouTube channel is a weird mix of truly awful covers (be warned, their 'reading' of Swifto's 'Shake It Off' may ruin the original forever), horrendous 'video content' marking each member out as instantly slappable, and some of their own songs, one of which is called — wait for it — 'LOL (Love On Lock)'.
What do they do?
They seem intent on striking a weird balance between annoying frat party jocks and earnest cover version artistes. Also — and this might actually be the best thing about them — they call their fans "Bromeos & Juliets".
Did they do the Ice Bucket Challenge?
Never ones to miss an opportunity for something to go viral, After Romeo did their definitely-for-charity challenge in the middle of Times Square in New York.

What do their fans say?
"I fucken love u guys but I am not gay" — Jackson Dunphy, via YouTube
"Oh my god I'm crying. Not really. But I've been waiting for these songs forever!"- Kacci Johnson, via YouTube
"ok I admit I have a slight obsession with @afterromeo but it's their fault that they're hot and amazing" — @Tell_Me_Wishes
What is their best song?

Weirdly they only seem to have one full song on their extensive YouTube account but this snippet of a sort-of-Tedder-lite moody ballad has the potential to be marginally listenable.
What's next?
According to After Romeo Updates on Twitter, After Romeo's next single is called 'Juliet' and will be out on November 19. Mind you, they then say "but we will see", which sounds pretty ominous actually.
