98 degrees

98 degrees -lrb- stylized as 98 ° -rrb- is an american pop and r&b boy band consisting of four vocalists : brothers nick and drew lachey , justin jeffre , and jeff timmons .
the group was formed by timmons in los angeles , california , although all of its members originate from ohio .
unlike most boy bands , they formed independently and were later picked up by a record label , rather than being assembled by a label or a producer .
they have sold over 10 million records worldwide and achieved eight top 40 singles in the u.s. .
the group reunited for a one-time performance at mixtape festival in hershey , pa in august 2012 .
after the performance , the reunion expanded into a new album and a spot on `` the package '' tour in 2013 .
