If you are an O-Town fan then you can’t miss out on the O-Town Fan Conference 2003. The event will be held in Cleveland, Ohio in July ’03. A few ‘special guests’ will also likely be attending the conference.

Groovevolt.com reports O-Town’s future is in trouble at J Records after their disasterous initial album sales for ‘O2′. “[Clive Davis] has no use for them. They had a great run with their debut album, due in part to ‘Making The Band’ but TRL is just not interested anymore,” says a source. Plans for a second video are on hold.

‘O2′ is an amazing album, showing new abilities from O-Town. and proving they are much more than your average “boy-band”. O-Town consists of Ashley Parker Angel; 21, Dan Miller; 22, Trevor Penick; 23, Erik-Michael Estrada; 23, and Jacob Underwood; 22. First let me take you back, and begin with how I became a fan of O-Town.
It was March 24th, 2000. I was sitting on my couch watching television, when I heard about this new show called, Making The Band, debuting on ABC. I decided to watch it, going into it knowing I wouldn’t like this “made-for-tv” band. After months of watching the show each Friday night on ABC, I began attached to O-Town, and later that year, I started an online club for the guys. They had became my favourite group! I picked up their debut album, O-Town, on January 23rd, 2001. After listening to it, I knew they were going to be a smash hit. Summer of 2001, I bought tickets to their live show in London, Ontario, Canada which was 2 hours from here, but I still insisted on going to see them. As I walked out of the hall that night of the concert, I TRULY walked away a huge O-Town fan, with more respect for the guys than ever!
Waiting for ‘O2′ was a difficult process, but the end result was amazing. After being changed almost 10 times, O-Town finally released their sophomore album, ‘O2′, on November 12th, 2002. I bought it the first day it came out, and realized what they were talking about when O-Town said “they’ve taken a new direction with their music”. Songs like “From The Damage”, “Suddenly”, “Craving”, and their new single, “These Are The Days”, are amazing tracks, with hard/soft rock sounds to them. “I Showed Her” is an emotional ballad, sort of a continuing of “All Or Nothing”. “The Joint” and “Make Her Say” are hip-hop songs, written by O-Town’s very own Erik-Michael Estrada. O-Town has successfully written half their ‘O2′ album. The guys show determination, passion, and a love for music, as it shines through in their new album. O-Town member, Dan Miller, says that “if you listen to this album, at first you won’t recognize that’s it’s actually O-Town, and that’s what we want”.
The album comes with a free movie pass, it is enhanced, and comes with screensavers, icons, skins, and more! Plus, you get a sneek peek at their new DVD, entitled, “O-Town: An Exclusive VIP Look”, which is IN STORES NOW! All this for only $18.99 + tax! (Or sales price; $14.99).
In closing, all I can say about ‘O2′ is, “absolutely incredible”. If you pick this album up, it’s one album you WILL NOT regret! Go get it, in stores now!!
Chad Kennedy of Teen Scene caught up with Trevor Penick of O-Town to get his take on the band’s new album ‘O2′. “We put everything into this album. With our last album it was like ‘Here’s this song. Go record it. Goto this photo shoot. Here’s how it looks.’ Basically everything was just given to us. It was our first album so we really had no say so,” Trevor explains. “This time we really were involved in the artwork and things like that. We chose where we wanted the photo shoot, who will take our pictures, the type of layouts, the order of the songs on the cd, writing songs, producing songs. We have been so involved with the record company on everything.”
O-Town chatted with Kiwibox.com about their attempt to transition themselves as adults in the recent issue of Blender magazine. “The last album was put together so fast, and the songs didn’t really represent us,” said Dan Miller. “We felt like we were thirteen year old boys, ya know? I mean some of the things we were singing about were just not us.” Jacob added, “Yeah, Blender was like ‘We’ll make you guys go to bars, and go to strip clubs’. And I mean, we’re all for chillin’ with people, but not in a trashy way. I mean we went home early and got a bad rap from Blender about it, which doesn’t really bother us, but we’re not trying to come out with a statement like ‘We’re adult now and we want an adult audience.’ We love our fans, and we hope they appreciate this album like they did the last, but hope they understand that wasn’t necessarily us.”
