BadKarma Detroit: Own It.

They were the original boy band.
2 friends from neighboring countries whose undeniable talent lifted them out of the architecture scene and into the hearts of countless teenage girls. But while BadKarma was slowly becoming one of the biggest acts of the past twenty years, they were plagued by bad business deals, internal battles, and a frustrating struggle for respect.
In the late 1990s, they've each had enough of 'the life' (multiple years of tedius 8 hour days surrounded by gray walls) and were ready to move on. It was then that 2 friends began singing, dancing, and drinking together as a way to escape the tedium that surrounded them. They called themselves Jackbox. After that and 'Cancerboy' failed everything came to a standstill.
Then the drinking took over; gaining them some local notoriety, and attracting the attention of a man we'll call, 'Ron', a local hero who was looking for the next Jackson Five. With his simple, magical statement, "you guys should make tshirts". The boys looked at each other and just knew. Quickly adding a 3rd and 4th member (some hot chicks), BadKarma designed and released their first round of designs, including a perfectly sinister confection called "Slutmagnet." This single (and subsequent album of work) exploded, selling 10s of copies, sending the boys on a seemingly endless tour around the state. Yet, for all of their hard work, the boys were still broke and living in middle-class apartments.
Meanwhile, other problems were brewing. The two hot chicks inevitably emerged as the fans' favorite members, and the others, particularly john, became jealous and were eager to step out of the background and into the spotlight. With tensions rising, fans are beginning to wonder what the future holds.
What DOES the future hold? Well, according to the boys,
"Ideally, we'd love a decade-long downward spiral of drug and alcohol addiction and run-ins with the law...but unless sales pick up that's never gonna happen."
