O-Town was a boy band formed from the first series of the MTV-produced reality television series Making The Band, in 2000. The members of the band were Jacob Underwood, Ashley Parker Angel, Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick, and Dan Miller. After releasing two albums near the end of public interest in the boy band format, O-Town has no future plans to perform concerts or release further albums.

History

---

In 1999, Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for the formation of the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, embarked on a nationwide talent search, cutting 1,800 auditions in eight cities down to 25 young men, and eventually eight finalists. These eight young men would, as the premise for a new ABC reality show, compete for five spots in Pearlman's newest boy band creation, to be signed to his record label, Transcontinental Records. Midway through the first season, five of the eight were chosen. These five were Underwood, Angel, Estrada, Penick, and a young man by the name of Ikaika Kahoano. Several episodes later, however, Kahoano was forced to choose between the band and his family: he chose his family. Selecting from the group of 25 semi-finalists, the remaining four members of the band chose Miller to be Kahoano's replacement. With the final five members of O-Town in place, Making the Band tracked the development and struggles of the new band.
