The Drama Brothers singing their hit single, When I Cry.
The Drama Brothers are a boy band formed between the last aftermath of Total Drama Action and Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special.
Overview[]
The Drama Brothers originally consist of Cody, Harold, Justin, and Trent. However, during Total Drama World Tour, Sasquatchanakwa replaces Cody as he was still competing. They have one known hit single, When I Cry, which apparently topped the charts. The band's songs and albums sold out stadiums and rocketed the boys to stardom. The band also perform some of the Total Drama World Tour aftermath songs.
Total Drama Action[]
The Drama Brothers jump into a pool in the nude, and are forced to do community service as a consequence.
The Drama Brothers achieved worldwide success for a short period. They were pop celebrities, and as a result, had groupies, gained publicity, and threw parties. However, due to a birthday party incident where they all went skinny dipping into a pool, the group was forced to do community service, and their image gets destroyed. Afterwards, things were going seemingly well for a while until an interview with Celebrity Manhunt host Josh reveals animosity within the band. Trent gets annoyed by Justin "playing" the guitar and snatches it away from him. Justin states that he can't actually play an instrument, but the fans don't seem to care, as they seem to admire his beauty much more than his talent. Trent declares that their problem is the music, to which Harold rebuts "You mean the beatboxing." Trent replies that the issues are because of not "giving the fans what they want," suggesting touching fans on an emotional level like what he does. Although, Harold insists that lots of fans want him to make a solo album based around his beatboxing. Trent sighs, mentioning to Josh, "You just can't bring up the beatboxing around him."
The Drama Brothers' interview with Josh from Celebrity Manhunt.
Cody asks Justin what he thinks, but Justin is busy breaking up with his girlfriend via text message, to which Trent asks Justin to do him a favor and break up with his girlfriend too. Later that day, Harold confesses to Josh that he's decided to leave the band and go solo, revealing that he had the word - mispelled as LO$O - tattooed on his fingers. They later promote their albums at a record store, with Justin, Trent, and Cody at one table, and Harold at another. The boy band is only able to get a girl to take an album for free since she wants the case, while the "H-Bomb" is not able to sell any albums, breaking up the remainder of the band.
On the red carpet during Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, they reveal that they are getting back together to re-release their hit single, despite Harold's tell-all book about the band. Harold and Cody later qualify for Total Drama World Tour, while Trent and Justin don't.
Total Drama World Tour[]
The Drama Brothers perform with Sasquatchanakwa.
The band reunites in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water, with Sasquatchanakwa replacing Cody. They perform a musical number called Baby and are later chased away off-screen by a yellow bus full of fangirls. An exclusive clip reveals that Trent ends up tied to this bus with his guitar, talking about the band not reuniting soon due to "artistic differences," and also about the hardships of being famous. The fate of the others is unknown.
The band performs back-up for the song Save This Show, in Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon.
The band appears again in Aftermath Aftermayhem, this time playing back-up in the song, Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley. During this song, Trent plays the balalaika, Harold plays the tuba, and Sasquatchanakwa plays the concertina, instead of their usual instruments. However, Justin still plays his tambourine.
