After seeing a meteoric rise to fame, this well established five piece boy band eight months after forming became three. The two brothers on the right (Danny and Luke) decided to part company to go their own way and become ‘Duo’ who are also performing at a high level at present. This came about due to what they call ‘artistic indifferences’. The new Triple Threat comes in the shape of Natthapon, Gary and Callum (Left to right on the picture above) and are said to be a focused direction to NuBeat’s original aims. After a long three hour photo shoot, Gary spoke to us to give you a first hand account of what happened and where they are going as Triple Threat.  As a close group of friends in late 2009, Luke Mitchell brought his musically gifted friends together to introduce  the idea of becoming a band to them. At first, only Danny Mitchell (Luke’s brother) and Gary Topping warmed to  the idea. However, Luke says ‘I knew  that once i got  Dan into the idea the  rest would soon follow, so for me i had  done the hard part by getting Dan on  board.’ From here the band really   started to move forward and set  themselves a worldwide stage through the internet.  Releasing several videos and songs onto the internet per day through sites like Youtube and Facebook soon saw them grow and grow. With nearly 1,000 likes in their Facebook page they were growing rapidly in stature and  started to become noticed with over  3,000,000 Youtube viewers tuning in over an unbelievable six month period with over 90% liking the content they uploaded  on there. ‘Your classic pop stars with a new twist on musical engineering’ Pete Jones (Triple Threat manager and E.M.I managing director)  Their instant success shocked  even the most optimistic of their fans As  they started to become pop phenomenon’s  across the world via the internet, fans  started to call them ‘God’s of music’, one  passionate fan wrote on their Facebook fan page  ‘OMG you guys are amazing, I’ve got all  your songs and videos saved on my laptop and I use listen to them every night  you’re musical genius’. Quite a compliment for five 17 year olds who had only started taking it serious as little as 5 months prior to ‘the Face book comment’ which  became known  to everyone. Their music is described as ‘your classic pop stars with a new twist on musical engineering’ by Pete Jones who is the manager of the young lads who have turned into musical mega stars. Their manager (Pete Jones) holds these lads in high regards and after only 5 short months of working with them had this to say  about them: ‘These lads are unbelievable professionals, whether they are in or out of the spot light they behave admirably and at their age, let’s face it who wouldn’t act big headed and cocky about it but these lads stick together through thick and thin and they will all make  it as huge stars in the future who are held in the highest regards with the likes of Westlife and Take That’. Huge admiration even from their manager who said ‘I couldn’t keep away, I had to sign them up for E.M.I  otherwise someone like Simon would, and that could have spelled the end for everyone else in the market’. Icons of music such as Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, Eminem and Take That to name a few have all commended the boys on their instant success and even the great Cliff Richard said ‘They have musical abilities way way above their years’. Respect like they have around the music scene is very hard to come by and many musicians take their full career trying to achieve praise like this from stars such as these. ‘We want to be like Take That when they were massive but become bigger and better!’ Gary Topping (Triple Threat) The real reason the band split off into ‘Duo’ and ‘Triple Threat’  remains a mystery amidst reports they parted due to ‘musical indifferences’. Gary continued to say: ‘The real reason we split is basically due to disagreements within the band with Dan and Luke wanting a new style and identity while me, Cal and Nat wanted to keep improving and we want to be like Take That when they were massive but become bigger and better with our individual style’.  For such young lads they have huge aspirations and the new band ‘Duo’ consisting of Danny and Luke from NuBeat are doing well and ‘we hold them both in high regards they’re top mates!’ says Gary.  The trio plan to tour around England this coming year and tickets will be hotly anticipated by all. Gary tells us ‘we can’t wait to smash our first tour even though it’s a huge one we’re ready for it’.
