New Boy Band Rixton Release Music Video For New Song ‘Make Out’

Rixton are the latest boy band to hit the music scene!

They premiered the music video for their new song 'Make Out' yesterday and they've already managed to gain a large following online. The video has had over 80,000 hits on Youtube in less than 24 hours.

For those who don't know, Rixton are a group from Manchester who've been signed by School Boy, Giant Little Man and Interscope. Interscope are an American record label who've been responsible for managing the likes of: Lady Gaga, Maroon 5 and Madonna. Now, Rixton are Interscope's latest project.

Like with JLS, Lawson and The Vamps, there are four members in Rixton.

Jake Roche, 21, is the lead-singer of the band and also the group's rhythm guitarist. Charley Bagnell is 23 years old and Rixton's lead guitarist whilst Danny Wilkins is also 23 and on the keys and bass. Both Charley and Danny also contribute to backing vocals. That just leaves Lewi Morgan, 23, who is the latest member to join Rixton and the band’s very own drummer.

So is their track 'Make Out' any good and is it going to be enough to help them break into the music industry? On first listen, the song is catchy but we're not sure yet if it's strong enough. Only time will tell and maybe it'll grow on us but there's a lot of competition in the boy band world.

On the other hand, the music video is actually amazing. In the hilarious clip, the boys parody some of the world's biggest popstars including: Rihanna, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Robin Thicke.

Lead-singer Jake also wears a tweed jacket which looks identical to the one Matt Smith wears in Doctor Who.

Rixton made a name for themselves by playing pub gigs and posting covers on Youtube. Some of their most popular videos include their unique covers of 'I Knew You Were Trouble' by Taylor Swift and 'Let Me Love You' by Ne-Yo.

At the moment, there's no official release date for 'Make Out' but it's definitely worth checking out. They've received support from The Wanted's Nathan Sykes and it looks like the future is going to be bright for them.

What do you think of Rixton and their song 'Make Out'?
