¡viva la graham!

 I’m not complaining, even if it comes off as slightly desperate. The U.K. boyband is attempting once again to follow in the footsteps of Take That. Both groups were huge in the ’90s, both fizzled in the following decade, both have launched a comeback, and both have posed wearing next to nothing.

As for the pic above, who knew Ronan Keating (center) was so ripped?? Very nice. And doesn’t openly gay member Stephen Gately (left of Keating) look supremely uncomfortable? He probably always had a crush on the other boys.

Click here for some other new Boyzone pics from their current tour. Below you’ll find a homoerotic shot of Take That back in their heyday. One more after the jump.

I especially like the chain-link speedos. Don’t you agree?!?

for those of you in the u.k., meet your new pet peeve (if they’re lucky)! for the rest of you, here’s a silly boyband you’ll probably never hear about again.

they’re called billiam. not sure why, but who cares when they can be coaxed into posing for photos like this one. i found this on popjustice under the headline: “gay porn or new boyband?” and that pretty much sums it up, though they stop short of publicly declaring their passion for barebacking.

billiam’s music is just as you’d expect: euro-trash techno with deceptively heterosexual lyrics. they have a song called “boyz text girlz” for fuck’s sake. lord knows the one with his bits in his fist has been in the middle of a sausage sandwich.

many of you were probably wondering when identical gay twins jacob & joshua (singing duo from the logo reality show nemesis rising) would strip down and take some nude photos together. well today is your lucky day.

the brothers appear in a flesh-filled spread in the september issue of british gay mag axm alongside several other musicians, actors, athletes and models. somehow it’s for charity, but i doubt that’s the main draw!

if you’re a fan of jacob & josh’s tunes, their album came out a few months ago and they’ve got a gig at a gay pride event in pueblo, colorado, on saturday (they have pride there? good for them!).

regardless, you can find a few of their cheeky photos (sorry, they’re not full frontal) after the jump. (more…)
