NKOTB reunited two years ago when they felt it was time for a new album; the result was the first set from the Boston natives in 15 years and a number one Canadian Album. In the two years since its release, the group has continued to promote the album with live performances and promotional events. The most recent feature to appear from The Block's reputation has come in the form of a DVD entitled Coming Home. The 84-minute live feed pulls together images from the group's world tour, behind the scenes shots and more.
New Kids on the Block was the predecessor for boy band groups of the '90s like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Developed by producer Maurice Starr, who helmed the outfit New Edition just a few years before the success of NKOTB exploded, the group was built on the principle that suburban white teens could entertain. As one of the decade's most successful acts in history, the group was originally just a group of humble street boys from Boston picked up by Starr during a talent search. Jordan Knight, Jon Knight, Danny Wood, Donnie Wahlberg and Joe McIntyre connected with Starr and signed to Columbia Records rather quickly, producing an immature debut in 1986. With its members hardly at full vocal prowess - as ages ranged from 16 down to 12 - the group's debut was hardly impressive.
The sophomore effort Hangin' Tough changed up their image a bit, adding more neo-pop to the set. That year and into the next nearly every single from the album, including its title track and "I'll Be Loving You Forever," were Top 10 hits. The success followed through to their Christmas album (a double platinum release) as Columbia Records played off the teen madness and re-released some debut tracks.
Yet by 1990's Step by Step the group had lost both their teenage audience - who had grown up at this point - and the voice of the critics, who debunked NKOTB performance abilities. Though the group remained a global phenomenon, the first single "Let's Try it Again" hardly made it to the Top 40. Not ones to give up easily, they rechristened themselves NKOTB and released Face the Music. It was an ultimate failure in comparison to others, as members started to release successful solo material.
