"Have you heard of that new band One Direction?  Isn&amp;#039;t it crazy to think that there was a time when we used to ask our friends that question?! Lately, everyone has been asking me if I&amp;#039;ve heard of what could be the new hot boy band, Emblem3. Brothers Wesley (19) and Keaton (16) Stromberg and best friend Drew Chadwick (20) actually have a lot in common with Harry, Louis, Niall, Liam, and Zayn. The trio came in third place on The X Factor (just like 1D!), even to judge Britney Spears&amp;#039; disappointment. No matter, though: Just in time for the New Year, Emblem3 has signed a big-time contract with Simon Cowell, so you know we&amp;#039;re going to be obsessed with their soon-to-be-written hit songs all summer. They originally come to us from Huntington Beach, CA, where they grew up listening to punk music, like Blink 182. (Kind of love that.) And fun fact: Wesley and Drew used to hate each other until Drew came over one day and played &amp;quot;Sweet Home Alabama&amp;quot; on the guitar, and that&amp;#039;s when Wesley knew they&amp;#039;d be friends. I can&amp;#039;t stop listening to their song &amp;quot;Sunset Boulevard,&amp;quot; which they took a big risk by performing for their very first audition on The X Factor. You can bet that all of the stories you read in the April 2013 issue\u2014which I am working on today!\u2014were written to that song. So, who&amp;#039;s your favorite? Drew, the older punk hottie? Wesley, the brown-haired cutie? Or Keaton, the blonde surfer type? (My fave is definitely Wesley!) Tell me in the comments\u2026and then help me come up with next week&amp;#039;s Crush of the Week!
