HomeTown was a six-piece Irish boy band, formed and managed by Louis Walsh. They were signed to RCA Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment UK.
The vocal group is made up of singers from Ireland, with Walsh auditioning a thousand singers for the band. HomeTown consisted of Cian Morrin, Dayl Cronin, Dean Gibbons, Josh Gray, Ryan McLoughlin, and Brendan Murray.
The band opened for Olly Murs, McBusted and The Vamps on UK and Ireland tours in 2015 and 2016.

The band was originally composed of five members, Gareth Borrow (Derry), Ryan McLoughlin (Newbridge), Brendan Murray (Galway), Cian Morrin (Castlebar) and Dayl Cronin (Clonmel). The five were picked out of a thousand applicants for a band project by Walsh.
Borrow was later removed from the band and Walsh brought in two new members, Josh Gray (Blessington) and Dean Gibbons (Tallaght), turning HomeTown into a six-piece band.

Their first single, "Where I Belong", debuted at number one in Ireland, becoming the fastest-selling single from a debut act and the fastest-selling single from an Irish artist in 2014. The single was written by Kodaline. The band's second single, "Cry for Help", was released on 27 March 2015 in Ireland. The song also reached number one on the Irish Singles Chart. The band began a signing tour around Ireland shortly after. They released their first single "Where I Belong" in the UK on 24 July 2015, with 4 September as the impact date (the day a track is meant to start receiving significant airplay).
On 23 October 2015, HomeTown released their third single "The Night We Met", which was written by Liam Payne of One Direction and Jamie Scott. On 20 November 2015, HomeTown released their self-titled debut album, which debuted at number 4 on the Irish Albums Chart. In August 2016, the band released "Roses" as the fourth and final single from the album. In October 2016, the band made their European debut in Madrid, Spain, where they played to a sold-out Barclaycard Center at the Coca-Cola Music Experience festival, alongside other acts such as Meghan Trainor and Bea Miller.
In December 2016, HomeTown announced that its members would be taking a break from music to pursue individual projects. Shortly after, Brendan Murray was announced as the Irish representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. Dayl Cronin took part in the Irish version of Dancing With the Stars in 2017.
