Although they probably won’t admit it, but the Ordinary Boys big break came following media coverage the lead singer, Samuel Preston, received when taking part in Celebrity Big Brother n January 2006.

This caused the sales of the band's albums to soar and making the single ‘Boys will be Boys’ rise from position 33 to 3 in four weeks.

Formed in 2002 in Worthing, the group were originally named Next in Line. They based their style on 1980s bands, such as The Specials, Morrisey and The Smiths- their name coming from a Morrisey single.

The band has made some original songs including ‘Maybe Someday’, ‘Talk Talk Talk’, ‘Seaside’ and ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ from on their debut album. ‘Over the Counter Culture’ was featured in the soundtrack for Burnout 3: Takedown.

The band has made a reputation for themselves amongst a fanatical fanbase that call themselves ‘The Ordinary Army’
