Artist To Watch: PRETTYMUCH

If you’re a long time Secret Fangirls reader, you know that we’re HUGE fans of classic boybands – y’know, they ones that harmonize and dance in sync!  From Backstreet to New Edition to NKOTB to Big Time Rush, dancing boybands are a staple in any pop music landscape.

Our latest Artist To Watch fills that dancing boyband void that’s been open since BTR went on a break.   PRETTYMUCH is the boyband that are quickly making a name for themselves despite only putting out music a few months ago!  PRETTYMUCH were assembled by Simon Cowell who knows a thing or two about creating a hit factory. PRETTYMUCH consists of Austin Porter (19, Charlotte, North Carolina) Brandon Arreaga (17, Corinth, Texas), Edwin Honoret (18, Bronx, New York), Nick Mara (19, Manalapan, New Jersey), and Zion Kuwonu (18, Ottawa, Canada) making them a true North American boyband!

After releasing their debut single “Would You Mind” on July 21st, the song skyrocketed to the top of the charts and has stayed on playlists throughout the Summer and we’re sure will continue to propel PRETTYMUCH into superstardom.  Watch the official video for “Would You Mind” below!

Even better, PRETTYMUCH just announced they’re hitting the road this Fall with Jack & Jack on the “FALL2017 Tour” throughout November.  Tickets go on sale Thursday, Sept 21st at 10AM local time.

Grab a copy of “Would You Mind” on iTunes or Amazon so you can sing along on tour!
