[edit] History
The group was formed when Chris Stokes told a 14-year-old V Sevani that if he put a group together he'd take a listen. He then found JJ (Justin Joseph Thorne), who had danced with him in an instructional dance video. The two found Kevin Michael McHale, a Plano native through his sister. Kevin's sister was an agent for Travis Michael Garland in Dallas, and NLT was formed. They came to prominence in 2007 under the direction of Jimmy Iovine & Ron Fair at Geffen Records.
On March 13, 2007, they released their debut single called "That Girl" produced by The Underdogs. Their hit single "She Said, I Said (Time We Let Go)" was produced by Timbaland and released on August 21, 2007. The video for "She Said, I Said (Time We Let Go)" featured Janel Parrish from the movie Bratz. On December 18th,2007, they released a pop-influenced cover of the classic tune, Silent Night. Since then they have self-proclaimed it to be dubbed "Crank that Silent Night", referring to the popular hit "Crank That Soulja Boy." The original release date for their debut album, Not Like Them was February 2008, however it has since been pushed back due to majority of the tracks being leaked and is now tentatively set for release in June. Their new single is entitled "Karma" was released as a digital download on iTunes on April 15, 2008. The song was produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and co-written by Evan "Kidd" Bogart and Marques Houston. "Karma" video debut May 7, 2008 on AOL videos.
