TORONTO -- The boys of mytown have been going strong all day and they show no signs of slowing down yet.

Tuesday started off with an early-morning root canal for group member Paul, then a performance for the winners of the YTV Achievement Awards, and an appearance on "The Mike Bullard Show".

They look and sound like a typical "boy band": smooth harmonies, good looks and that certain je ne sais quoi that makes 13-year-old girls melt. But it was at the YTV Achievement Awards that mytown got two steps ahead of the boy-band counterparts.

When Adam Gregory, the winner of the YTV vocal category, stood up to give his performance, he winced as he strummed his guitar and realized it was out of tune. Shaken, he glanced around for help and quickly found it in mytown member Danny, who grabbed the guitar and tuned it for him. Taking a deep breath and preparing to play again, the winner accidentally dropped his guitar, which landed with a loud thud on the stage floor. He stared at it for a minute and then looked up in absolute despair. Again, the mytown boys were there. They rushed to the back of the room, grabbed their own guitar, tuned it, strapped him into it and then got the crowd revved up for his performance.

The simple act of kindness was second nature to the band, who seemed surprised that anyone would expect them to behave any differently.

"Our heart just went out to him ... you know. He's really talented."

If you combine the cuteness factor with their pleasant sound and add their genuinely chivalrous natures, you just might come across a recipe for the next record-breaking pop act.

After trailing the band from the YTV awards, to the rehearsal for the 'Mike Bullard Show', to an autograph session, AllPop finally caught up with Paul, Marc, Danny and Terry in-person as they grabbed a few quick minutes to relax in their dressing room.

Upstairs in the studio, a group of squealing girls anxiously waits for the group to make an appearance. Their dressing-room door keeps opening, and their manager is handed everything from a white teddy bear to a box of Lucky Charms cereal.

But the boys say they love their fans -- as long as they don't get too obsessive, as Terry explains.

"I had just met this girl in England and she wanted to know whether she could write to me, so I gave her my address thinking 'she's in Germany, I'm in Ireland, cool'. She ended up on my door with her bags at Christmas time."

Terry was shocked but didn't lose his cool for a minute. "Well ... I invited the girl in, first thing. That was the craziest thing that's happened to me."

The boys may be overwhelmed by fans sometimes, but they're always ready for a laugh.

"We were heading back to Dublin in a bus," Marc says, "and there all these girls were going by in cars and things. And this big coach went by with mytown signs. They all started mooning us out the window, so we pulled past them, pulled all our clothes off, and stood there in front of the bus and waited for them to go by."

But it's not mooning fans and stalkers from Germany that shock the mytown members. It's simply the fact that there are so many fans out there.

"We were going over to Planet Hollywood in Orlando for a dinner with a girl [a contest winner]," Paul says. "We looked out the window and saw the queue was just hundreds of people. And we thought, 'Oh no here we go, we've got to queue up for two hours before we can get a seat.' We pulled the bus over and the girl with us said 'What are you talking about? That's for you'. I opened the door and everyone was like 'AHHH!' It was the most ridiculous thing."

Now that mytown's self-titled album is quickly climbing the charts, the boys will have to learn to deal with masses of screaming fans. They're currently working on putting together a tour, and promise that fans will be happy with their performance because they've got "tricks up their sleeves".

According to Danny, their concerts will be an amazing event because they each bring a different aspect to mytown.

Each of the members are too modest to talk about their best qualities but their friends are more than happy to fill in the blanks.

According to Marc, he's incredibly uninteresting but Terry disagrees.

"He's just totally driven in just everything he does," Paul says about Marc, who's got a background in choreography.

"Paul's best trait is his talking ability," Terry says. "He's a very good speaker. He's not a bad actor either."

"Here's something people might not know about me," pipes up Danny. "I used to work in a coffee shop before the band."

"Dan's best trait is his coffee," says Marc.

"Terry's best trait is that when he finally gets up he actually shows up for work," Marc adds, and then the rest jump in to explain how Terry manages to be late for everything. "And, he's a very nice bloke and he's witty. He's always having a bit of fun."

Just then, an especially loud squeal can be heard from a fan down the hallway.

"It shocks me every time we come to Canada, 'cause we just do so much work here and the response for us is getting bigger and bigger and bigger and the demand for us is getting bigger, " Marc says. "Canada in general has been great to us, and that excites us every time we come here, [thinking] what's next."

Mytown's album is in stores now.

Here's a new song for Tina Turner: We don't need another boy-band ... Oh, OK, just one more. But then it's got to stop. Please.

This one's from Ireland. And it's not Boyzone. They're called Mytown. No, not Boytown, not 'NTown and definitely not the Backstreet O'Boys. Mytown. They dance. They sing. They play guitars. They write their own songs and are influenced by everything from the Bee Gees to Boyz II Men and that's just the B's.

The name comes from being "townies" in Dublin, as opposed to being from the suburbs. When they were poor and struggling, the lads would sometimes practice on a rooftop, wistfully gazing out at the unrelentingly charming skyline of their beloved burg. Inspired, they reckoned "Ourtown" would be a swell handle. Even better: "Mytown." It stuck.

The quartet was in Edmonton last month for an in-store show at West Edmonton Mall's HMV. Expecting hundreds, they instead got thousands of screaming young female fans, a good number of whom wanted to take a part of one of the musicians home as a souvenir. The appearance was primed by the hit singles Body Bumpin', Party All Night and Now That I've Found You. The latter was previously a hit for Terri Clark (the ongoing affair between boy bands and hot country stars continues, but that's another story).

During a fast-paced interview from the Westin Hotel the morning after the gig, group members Marc Sheehan and Paul Walker say they're delighted with the attention. Girls, of course, are the real reason they're in the game.

They laugh, "Oh, yeah. Definitely. Seriously, it's very tempting. You look at the girls, it's unbelievable."

Some good action backstage at the Grammys, too: "We met the Doritos girl. Have you seen her? She's really soomthin'. Unbelievable. I'm in loov with her. We also met Lisa Marie Presley. She absolutely looked amazing."

You get the idea. Mytown knows its target market well.

This reporter could barely keep up with the lads' manic brogue, let alone figure out which one was which. This was not helped by the fact they often talked at the same time.

Marc, 23, is the choreographer who likes a girl "with a bit of fun," while Paul, 22, is into Michael Jackson and admits he's "fussy" when it comes to female companionship. (Absent were Terry Daly and Danny O'Donoghue. They were probably upstairs talking to fans on the Internet, one of Mytown's favourite pastimes.)

Despite answering the same questions for weeks, these guys are as enthusiastic as teens at their first gig. In an extensive promotional tour of North America, the message they're trying to spread is simple: Although Mytown's self-titled debut isn't particularly different than any of the other slickly produced boy-band albums, Mytown brings something different to the "boy-band table." They play their own guitars, they write their own ... oh, we've covered this already, haven't we?

"It's a fine line," says Marc (or Paul), on transcending the boy-band stereotype. "It's our first album, so we've got to come in and establish ourselves, say hello, here we are and get into the audience we want to get into, so obviously you can't go too far left field with your debut album. But when you come to our show, we will entertain you. We won't stand there for 10, 15 songs and la-la-la-la at you and do the same thing. We will dance for you, we will entertain you, we will sing for you, we will play live for you. Then, in the second and third albums, we can develop our music. We're in this for the long haul."

And make no mistake - a big reason they formed the group in the first place was due to the success of other boy bands like the Backstreet Boys.

"Obviously, we are part of a popular thing that's going on right now. Boy bands are huge. We're not silly people. We see there's a huge market for it that we can at least tap into some way. So far, it's been working."

It had better. A lot is riding on this project. Mytown is managed by the same company that handles U2, which decided that North America, rather than the U.K., was the place to break the band. The album was recorded over a whirlwind 10 months in Dublin, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Nashville, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas and Virginia. Aside from the horrendous travel bills, various pricey heavyweights that include Boyz II Men, producer Teddy Riley and hitmaker Narada Michael Walden lent a hand. It was a very expensive learning experience.

They laugh, "We're hoping to sell a lot of albums ... 40 million and we'll break even."

You can laugh, too, if you like. Just don't dismiss this latest boy-band, one that, for a change, is not afraid to call themselves a boy-band. Besides, these guys have enough energy that they'd sell the 40 million records door to door if they had to.

Watch for Mytown in Edmonton this summer, hopefully opening for a Grammy-winning female star who was a former Mousketeer and is not named Britney Spears.
