Formed as part of the Netflix docuseries, ‘Simon Cowell: The Next Act’, December 10 made the cut after a thrilling six episodes that saw the music mogul painstakingly put the hopefuls through their paces onstage, in the studio and at a photoshoot. It paid off; as well as playing 14 instruments between them, their multiple-part harmonies, diffuse influences and eclectic personalities create a band that is genuinely unique. While they’ve ostensibly been put together by Cowell, (who launched the careers of bands from Five and Westlife through to Fifth Harmony, Little Mix and One Direction), it’s clear that December 10 was meant to be.
