History

2014: Formation and The X Factor

All eight members of Stereo Kicks originally auditioned as soloists for series 11 of The X Factor, but were all rejected at the bootcamp stage. They were formed by the judges because they felt they were too good to let them go. The group first sang together at bootcamp within hours of being put together; they performed a cover of the Snow Patrol song "Run". They received a standing ovation from all four judges with Simon saying that they were one the best boybands they've ever had on the show. As a result, they got through straight to the judges' houses stage. At that stage they sang Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" and later got sent to the live shows. The fans suggested names through the ITV website; they received over 46,000 entries. Stereo Kicks' reception has been very favourable with Simon Cowell himself saying: "one of the best [groups] ever [to feature on the show]", also they've been compared to be "as good as One Direction" by the public, and their performance of "Run" reached 1 million views on The X Factor's YouTube channel a week after its upload on 28 September. Initially called the "New Boy Band", they later held a poll on the website to determine a new name and "Stereo Kicks" was chosen.
