Why Went Wrong With The Band?

As the fans heard their favorite songs live, the entire city of New York erupted into cheers.

In 2007, its vocalist Alex Mitchell revived another of their songs and was invited to perform it live twice. At one point, the entire band was supposed to make a comeback, but this did not occur because of their hectic schedules.
The Arrival of John Francis Sharkey
Fortunately, after several attempts, the band announced that they were returning for good this time.
