Pass the ear plugs! The boy band who want to sing to you about stopping Brexit... and think their musical arguments and gyrating dance moves will keep Britain in the EU

A new boy band dubbed the Breunion Boys has been formed in a 'desperate' bid to change the mind of people who voted to leave the European Union.
The band, who have released a single called Britain Come Back, were brought together by a Dutch artist who plans to take them on a tour of pubs in the UK, although they have not yet booked a single gig.
Mastermind Julia Veldman hopes that the emotion of the song will sway Brexiteers into rethinking their decision, because she believes the initial vote was a passionate one. 
She told CNN that responding with facts would not help to persuade those that voted leave because it was an emotional decision, not a calculated one.

Ms Velman added that she wants them to look at Brexiteers who 'dumped them' (the EU) in the eye and have a serious conversation.
The music video for the songs involves the band showing off their dance moves on a Dutch beach while singing along to the remain anthem.
The lyrics to the track include: 'I cannot believe this is the end (oh no); I still feel your love inside me; I still sing your words,' they sing in the video, which was filmed earlier in December.

'Your voice paints my heart; your mirage fades away. Your choice turns my spine gray. There's always been a sea between us, we used to sail it together -- but you're leaving, now we're falling apart,' the band sings.
'Britain, come back to us, it is not too late to turn around.'
Band member Joshua Alagbe, 24, said: 'Look how angry many Brits are towards the EU and how many Europeans are angry towards Britain for leaving. We are kind of an answer to the emotion.'

Ms Velman's search for boy band members took almost a year, as she hunted for singers who would be able to correctly represent the EU.
In the end she decided on three Dutch nationals, one Afghan and one Spaniard. 
She hit back at claims that the group was formed as a joke, arguing that it stood for the millions of people in Europe who want Britain to stay in the EU.

Ms Veldman said forming a boy band was a 'final, desperate, ultimate attempt' to prevent Brexit before the March 29 departure date.
'I thought, what else will work better than the voice of Take That, or a boy band — the best thing Britain ever gave to us — to convince them to take us back?'  
Britain Come Back was written for the Breunion Boys by Flavia Faas, a Dutch song composer, and cost Ms Veldman more than $13,000 out of her own pocket.
The track doesn't gloss over Britain's bumpy relationship with the EU and blames Brussels for failing to fully appreciate its EU partner.   
She said she wanted the boys to look like they were from the 1990s because back then in the 'glory days' it felt like Britain's future was in Europe.
