FULL CIRCLE BOYS: On the Trajectory of Mass Hysteria
FULL CIRCLE BOYS talk big goals, wild dreams, and the road to mass hysteria. This is just the beginning.
From dominating the dance floor to taking over the pop scene, Full Circle Boys are here to prove that boy bands are back, and they’re coming in hot.
With electrifying performances, jaw-dropping choreography, and a fanbase that rides or dies for them (shoutout to the Infinities), the boys have been grinding nonstop to make their mark.
In this exclusive interview, they open up about their creative process, their biggest challenges, and their dream of hitting major festival stages. They also get real about what it takes to stay committed as a band, clear up common misconceptions about boy bands, and even reveal their ultimate dance move for saving the world.
Chris Roditis, Musicngear: From your extensive dance backgrounds to forming a tight-knit boy band, how has your evolution from individual dancers to a cohesive unit influenced not only your music but your live performances?
Growing up as competitive dancers has shaped our band in more ways than one. From a music perspective, we have a sixth sense with finding the right dance records that speak to us. With uptempo music, we know right away if it sparks creative visual ideas.
When it comes to live performances we are only limited by the capabilities of the stage itself. Every time we get out on stage we put everything we have into the performance. Whether it's five minutes or an hour we come off stage in a torrential sweat.
We are entertainers first and our performances are just as important as our sound.
Musicngear: Your singles, like ‘Call My Name’ and ‘Me and You,’ have a way of instantly setting a mood—whether it’s hyping up a crowd or hitting deep emotionally. What’s the secret sauce and what was the inspiration behind them?
When we record in the studio, we individually record every part of the song. This may sound strange at first, but it actually makes a lot of sense when it comes to making music that holds your attention the whole time.
In post-production, there is a battle between our five vocal cuts of each section for who sounds the most emotive, attention-grabbing, committed, and tone-wise makes the song better. Usually, it's pretty clear who is getting which parts, but sometimes someone surprises us, and that only makes us better.
Musicngear: You have a very dedicated fanbase, the "Infinities." How do you keep that bond strong, and what does it mean to have a community of fans that are so dedicated to the Full Circle Boys?
We always want our community to be a place where everyone feels welcomed and recognized for their shared love of music. Of course, interactions online are great, but we love to have an impact on people's day-to-day lives.
A special moment that comes to mind is surprising a superfan in San Francisco and bringing her with us to our 99.7 NOW radio show.
Musicngear: What’s your next big goal? More streams? Booking live shows? Getting on major festival lineups? And how do you plan to make that happen?
We are working on getting on the Tate Mcrae tour. We know we will get on the trajectory of mass hysteria if we are surrounded by the best. We are all huge fans of Tate and feel this would be the right touring connection for us.
In the meantime, we are performing as much as possible! We have aspirations to be headlining major festivals like Glastonbury, Coachella, and Lollapalooza.
We were honored to be a special guest artist at the world dance competition UDO in England, and we would love to continue interacting with the greater dance community around the world.
Musicngear: If from now on you had to choose only one format to release visuals for your music, what would that be? Official music videos or TikToks/Shorts/Reels? And why?
Probably Snapchat reels. On a real note Official Music Videos.
Musicngear: If Full Circle Boys had a motto that summed up your vibe, what would it be?
Work Hard, Play Hard, Giggle Hard, Die Hard, Dance Hard, Hard Hard.
Musicngear: Which artists would you love to collaborate with? Are there any dream venues or festivals you’d love to play?
We would love to collaborate with someone who adds a new sound to the mix. Artists like Busta Rhymes and Ludacris come to mind. Their ability to take a pop record to the next level is undeniable.
Musicngear: If your band had to survive in a zombie apocalypse, who’s leading the group and who’s getting eaten first?
Ollie is getting eaten first and Jagger would try to lead the group but James probably has the most knowledge about surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Musicngear: What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced as a band, and what advice would you give to others dealing with the same struggle?
We have had internal battles of confusion of ambition and commitment during the creation of the band.
We are lucky to have a group of people that agree on those two things and we would advise others to make sure you find collaborators who lift you up.
Musicngear: Tell us the biggest misconception about boy bands, and set the record straight.
One of the biggest misconceptions about a boy band is that the members don’t have real musical talent or artistic input—that they’re just industry-manufactured puppets.
While some groups may start with heavy industry influence, many boy bands, past and present, consist of genuinely talented singers, songwriters, and performers who work hard to perfect their craft.
We will give the people what they want if they want it.
Musicngear: Given that Spotify pays musicians mere pennies while raking in billions, do you believe the music industry would be better or worse off if the platform disappeared overnight?
I think for a new group like us we have to focus on the positives of the current music industry. With the current streaming platforms, it is always new artists (like us) to be seen by audiences only accessible before by piracy or the local music scenes. We have the opportunity to be in front of a worldwide audience without major label support.
A business model like Spotify would’ve occurred inevitably in our opinion.
As musicians, we do it for the love of the game and will not have the current industry climate deter us from doing what we love.
Musicngear: Your music is fueling a global dance battle, where the winner takes control of the planet. The fate of humanity rests in your hands. What’s your killer dance move to win the battle?
The dab. A culturally significant move that would deter any aliens from attacking Earth.
Musicngear: What’s next for Full Circle Boys? Anything exciting coming up that you can tease for your fans?
We have a new song and major music video released in March! We feel that it is a big level up for us in every way imaginable.
We have more music in our bag than ever before, and if people want us to release bigger projects like an EP or album they have to support!
We will give the people what they want if they want it.
