One Direction better watch out. A new boy band is taking the stage and they've got the power of the White House behind them.
The tween group, Twenty20, includes the offspring of some of Obama's top advisers - Jay Carney's 12-year-old son, Hugo, U.S. Trade Rep. Mike Froman's son Ben, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan's son Lucas and Joey Doyle, whose mom is Hillary Clinton's former presidential campaign manager turned Obama campaign adviser Patti Solis Doyle.
All four are classmates of Sasha and Malia Obama at Sidwell Friends School.
They dropped a music video for their first single this month, a 'catchy, power-pop' tune 'Heart Thief.'
The smartly produced short for the song 'captures an epic kid adventure around the nation's capital' and shows the quartet rock 'n' roll across the district - hanging out at Union Station, filling up on sugar at 7-Eleven, frolicking on their skateboards and even taking a ride on Capital bikes.
Carney follows in his dad's footsteps as the frontman for the group.
Froman plays guitar, Donovan - who rocks a Justin Bieber do - is on bass and Doyle takes the drums.
'Before a rainbow, there's always a storm,' the youngsters belt out, words of hope as their parents battle a tough political climate.
