In 2004, shortly after O-Town split, Jacob Underwood began making music with his band Jacob's Loc. Their music style is a mix of rock, country and a little bit of funk.
Ashley Parker Angel stepped back into the spotlight in 2006 with a show on MTV (There and Back) that detailed his life after O-Town and his 2006 solo album, "Soundtrack to Your Life".
In 2011, O-Town reformed, though without Ashley, and continued on as a 4-piece. Skydive, their official comeback single, was released on 27 July 2014, and was shortly followed by the release of the band's third studio album, Lines & Circles.

Excuse me, miss, lemme talk to ya
