Pop / Rock
The members of Busted do not run this profile.
September 2002 - Friday 14th January 2005.
How the band formed.
James Bourne and Matt Willis originally knew eachother from auditions and gigs and eventually Matt and James decided to write songs together.
The boys needed another member for the band and put an ad in NME for a certain 16-year-old boy to find while flicking through. Charlie Simpson auditioned and as we all know, got through.
After signing with Universal records they released their first single 'What I Go To School For' which debuted at Number 3 on September 23, 2002. (The REAL Miss Mackenzie doesn't like to talk about the song but is flattered).
Taken from Busted.com: "In less than a year, Busted have smashed the mould of pop. They are one of the defining new acts of the past five years; treating pop audiences with the respect they deserve, selling their music without selling out their musical beliefs. Busted are the alternative."
