Have we had The Faders yet? I was OBSESSED with No Sleep Tonight and was gutted when they just sort of fizzled out. I think the one with the red hair had a famous dad so there as a bit of wink wink that’s how she got the record deal about it all but I like their (two) main songs 
I was literally just typing about them when your post popped up. It seems they are so forgotten that the music video of their debut single "No Sleep Tonight" isn't even on Youtube. The best you can find is a low res upload of the unreleased US version which was on The Veronica Mars soundtrack. The lead singer was Midge Ure's (Ultavox) daughter.Have we had The Faders yet?

I remember Midge Ure (popstar from the 80s, was in a band called Ultravox and co-organised Band Aid & Live Aid as well as co-wrote Do They Know It’s Christmas) had a daughter who was in a short lived pop rock bandHave we had The Faders yet?

Was he the famous father?
This was on the radio all the time in the mid 90s , and it didn't even make the top 40 in the UK, although Wikipedia tells me it was successful in the US and Australia.
That song always reminded me of Jet ' are you gonna be my girl' . It was like a teeny girl versionHave we had The Faders yet?

Oooh yes I think so!
She is good fun on the Extras Christmas Special where she, and Chico, plus others are in the 'Big Brother Celebrities' with Ricky Gervais's character as another flop. Occasionally that's on iPlayer to watch but not now and I can't find any clips.
This thread is so funny though, I'm just reading out band/singer names and my husband immediately sings something of theirs

God yeah peak 2004 cringe
It came out that the whole thing was a PR stunt. She was a session singer who was given the song by the record company, I don't think she even met Eamon!
Who remembers Bad Day by Daniel Powter?
Actually liked the song, but God they hammered the video with the girl and boy drawing a picture on the subway billboard
Anyone remember Lisa Roxanne, No Flow from 2001-ish? I remember her being on CD:UK promoting it but it didn't do well.
The title always made me think of periods actually

I always thought of Damage as a flop boy band as I didn't remember them being popular when I was at school, having any big hits or generally entering the public consciousness. They were in Smash Hits a good bit but weren't one of the top tier boy band acts in terms of exposure.
However just looking at their discography they had 4 top 10s so not sure they were a complete flop like others mentioned in the thread. Anyone got any opinions on this band?
I liked BBMak "Back Here", I can't remember the follow up singles
Another one that flopped in 97 - Catch, "Bingo"
EDIT: oh my, just googled Catch and the lead singer died a few weeks ago at age 42

No way??? I loved Catch. The b side was Boys Will Be Boys and that was a tune too.

OMG Catch! Did you know the video to Bingo was actually playing on ITV when they broke into programming to announce Princess Diana had been in a car crash?
