Busted

Busted is a British pop rock band that originally found fame in the early 2000s. The band consists of members James Bourne, Matt Willis, and Charlie Simpson. Busted quickly became known for their catchy tunes and blend of pop-punk and power pop sounds, appealing to a broad audience with their energetic music and relatable lyrics. They scored several hits in the UK, including “Year 3000,” “What I Go to School For,” and “Crashed the Wedding,” before parting ways in 2005 as members pursued different musical paths, most notably Charlie Simpson with his alternative rock band Fightstar.

However, the Busted narrative took a turn in 2015 when the trio announced a surprise reunion, much to the delight of fans who had grown up with their music. They released their third studio album, “Night Driver,” in 2016, showcasing a more mature sound with elements of synthpop, departing from their original pop-punk style. The album “Half Way There,” released in 2019, marked a return to their roots and was received warmly by fans yearning for that nostalgic Busted vibe. Whether they're reimagining their classic hits in an updated context, as seen in "Greatest Hits 2.0," or crafting new music, Busted has maintained a dedicated fanbase, emblematic of their enduring appeal and versatility as artists in an ever-changing music landscape.
