組合介紹
新街邊男孩(New Kids On The Block)是男孩團體（Boyband）的始祖。他們是被製作人兼作曲家Maurice Starr發掘的，希望他們能夠載歌載舞地表演自己撰寫的一些饒舌歌曲。Maurice Starr在1983年成功地將同樣是來自波斯頓的黑人五人組合"New Edition"推出音樂市場。兩年後針對音樂市場上占絕對比重的白人而設計的組合就是新街邊男孩。就像他所希望的一樣在商業方面新街邊男孩遠遠超過了New Edition。他們活力十足，外貌討喜。
1986年發行第一張同名專輯，在16歲以下白人女孩中受到了狂熱追捧，可惜並沒有引起太多注意。1988年推出以Joey主唱的單曲"Please Don’t Go Girl"才打開組合的知名度。同年，第二張專輯《Hangin’ Tough》發行，專輯大受歡迎，並憑藉此專輯擠進Billboard排行榜，這張專輯一共賣出了800萬張。開始他們大放異彩的星路。
說起來第一張專輯的封面還可見到Joey戴著牙齒矯正器。當時他尚未變聲，還保有男孩清澈甜嫩的嗓音。加上那對漂亮的藍眼珠，唱著這首"Please Don’t Go Girl"，當年真的迷倒不少人。雖然專輯裡頭有五位團員輪流主唱的歌曲，但是主唱機會最多的通常是Jordan Knight，再來是Joey，然後是Donnie Wahlberg。Jordan很會用假音唱歌，又會彈琴，那首"I'll Be Loving You (Forever)"也是專輯裡非常受歡迎的歌，還曾經登上Billboard單曲排行榜的第一名。到1989年新街邊男孩已經成為美國炙手可熱的歌唱組合，其作品"You Got It (The Right Stuff)"、"I'll Be Loving You (Forever) "、"Cover Girl"、"Didn't I (Blow Your Mind)"深受樂迷喜愛。
他們的歌陪伴很多人走過青春歲月。進入1990年代，已經長大的樂迷開始將更多的注意力集中在新興的“另類搖滾”上。新街邊男孩試圖改變以適應變化。他們認為斯塔始終將他們定位在“低齡少女殺手”上，影響了樂隊的發展，所以在1994年終止了與斯塔近10年的契約。他們還認為團名"New Kids On The Block"降低了對成熟聽眾的吸引力，所以取原團名的縮寫把樂隊的名稱改為"NKOTB"，並於1994年以此團名發行了第五張專輯。該專輯讓樂評人停止了6年來對這個組合音樂才華的指責，獲得了一片叫好之聲。但新街邊男孩失去了新一代20歲以下女孩的支持，又無法獲得20－30歲年齡段的聽眾，新專輯叫好不叫座，導致不久之後NKOTB宣告解散，此後一共成員便走上單飛之路。
2013年1月底，新街邊男孩發行了新單曲《remix（i like the）》。於1月25日（美國時間早上10點）在“On Air with Ryan Seacrest”電台全球大首播(iTunes - 1/28 )！
2013年4月2日新街邊男孩發行了新專輯《10》，這張專輯首周就在Billboard專輯榜上登上了TOP10！第一周銷量為5，0000份。--《10》是續《New Kids On The Block》,《Hangin' Tough》, 《Merry, Merry Christmas》,《Step By Step》, 《No More Games/ The Remix Album》, 《Face The Music》, 《Greatest Hits》, 《The Block》, 《NKOTBSB》之後的第10張專輯。
