Don't just do something, stand there

  • June 1, 2010

One thing we enjoyed last week was new boyband The Wanted revealing daily 'teaser clips' from their first video. Each of the clips featured a different member of the band and the whole exercise was probably intended to establish the five boys' indi­vidual per­son­al­it­ies. We're not sure if they pulled that off but they did, at least, establish a common interest in standing around a lot.

Anyway, prepare to meet…

'Can I interest you in an insurance package with that mobie phone?' Wanted.

[youtube]zmfPxQtcjo0[/youtube] 'Mum says I have to be back in time for tea' Wanted. [youtube]Sv3hSdOZuYw[/youtube] 'I haven't taken my med­ic­a­tion today' Wanted. [youtube]mSHxJ1CjG_Q[/youtube] 'If you think this is pouting you should see me when I don't get my own way' Wanted. [youtube]Z4j_YDewvoM[/youtube] 'You don't know if I'm going to beat you up or bum you, and neither do I' Wanted.

[youtube]qNzOds66i4w[/youtube] The full video did even­tu­ally go online over the weekend and has already notched up 75,000 views to there's a glimmer of hope here that The Wanted might not be on a one way trip to the dumper, which is good news as they have some big tunes up their sleeves and 'All Time Low' is itself rather excellent. Here's the video. (The first half is a bit shit and the second half is really good.) [youtube]V0LV_bETEzs[/youtube] We tried to do the 'LOW' dance move yesterday and pulled a muscle. :(
