Point Break were a British pop group, formed and managed by Danielle Barnett and signed to WEA, who found brief success between 1999 and 2000.

Brett Adams and David Oliver first started out with George Trotter as a group called Aurora[1] and performed in local schools and clubs in England. They changed their name to Point Break named after the 1991 crime action film of the same name, when they clinched a record deal with Warner Music.

Launched as a new boy band in 1999, the group featured Brett Adams and David "Ollie" Oliver, who had both acted in the television series Byker Grove, and Declan Bennett joined when original member Jon had to quit due to illness.[2] Within a year, they clocked up five UK hit singles and an album.[3] Other members included American Dustin Strong, and Nicol Lampert who both joined the group as singers and songwriters and toured live with Point Break before the group disbanded.[4]
