Chicago-based pop group the White Tie Affair make melodic, '80s-influenced rock that also features a heavy dance-oriented sound informed as much by contemporary artists like Fall Out Boy and Justin Timberlake as it is more iconic artists such as Duran Duran and Loverboy. Featuring the talents of Chris Wallace (lead vocals), Sean-P (guitar and programming), Ryan Hollywood (keyboards and guitar), and Tim McLaughlin (drums), the White Tie Affair released their debut album, Walk This Way, on Slightly Dangerous/Epic Records in 2008.
