As a band, the group was signed to SBK/EMI records with a lone self-titled album, which spawned a Billboard Hot 100 single, "I've Been Waiting for You".
The Guys Next Door still have several fan websites and most of the group's music videos from the show are on YouTube.
While Wolf and Leslie dropped out of the public eye after the show ended, Dancy and Garcia are still active as actors. Sharpe is currently a music producer and songwriter who has worked with such talents as Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Anastacia, Kelly Rowland, Big Time Rush, New Boyz, and Monica.[3]
