History
On March 13, 2007, they released their debut single, "That Girl". The following month they opened (with Chantelle Paige) for the Pussycat Dolls. The group's song "Heartburn" (produced by The Underdogs) was included on the soundtrack of the 2007 film Bratz: The Movie. NLT's second single, "She Said, I Said (Time We Let Go)", was produced by Timbaland and released on August 21, 2007. It peaked at #65 on the Billboard Pop 100. In 2008, they took part in the Johnny Wright-organized Bandemonium tour, with Menudo, and VFactory, which was less than successful. On April 15, 2008, they released their third single, "Karma," as a digital download. NLT planned to release their album Not Like Them in the summer of 2007, but the release was pushed back and ultimately cancelled.
Post-NLT
McHale went on to appear on the TV show Glee, in the role of Artie Abrams. Thorne went on to be a part of another, now defunct boy band, One Call, with Anthony "AG" Gamlieli and two former members of Menudo, Chris Moy and Jose Bordonada. Garland premiered his debut single, the Danja-produced "Believe" on American Idol on May 19, 2010. His self-titled debut album "Travis Garland" was released on September 10, 2013. Sevani recently released his album "Steps" for free download on his website, and a new single also for free download.
