With a sound somewhere between 112 and an urban *NSYNC, the vocal group Day26 formed during the fourth season of MTV's Making the Band. The name of the band references August 26, 2007, the date that MTV's reality show turned bandmembers Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley, Robert Curry, and Willie Taylor into major-label recording artists. As winners of the show, Day26 were immediately signed to Bad Boy Records by the label's boss, Sean "Puffy" Combs. Combs partnered the band with producer Mario Winans for their debut single, "Got Me Going." The track was released in February 2008, with their self-titled debut album following that March. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
