98 Degrees
Mar 31, 2013
98 Degrees (stylized as 98°) consist of four vocalists: brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre, and Jeff Timmons. The group was formed by Timmons in Los Angeles, California, although all of its members originate from Ohio.
Unlike most boy bands, they formed independently and were later picked up by a record label, rather than being assembled by a label or a producer. They have sold over 10 million records worldwide and achieved eight top 40 singles in the U.S.
After reuniting, Nick Lachey, 39, and the rest of his 98 Degrees band mates released their new single "Microphone" on March 22nd. The song's debut comes two months after the boy band announced they will be joining New Kids On The Block and Boyz II Men for a The Package Tour this summer. The single will be part of their new album 2.0.
On February 20th, 2013, the band announced to USA Today that their new album, 2.0 will be released on May 7th, 2013. "We are really excited to bring our fans new music and get out on the road," said new dad Nick Lachey in a news release. "This is a long time coming."
