First, there were rumors of a Backstreet Boys/Spice Girls world tour, now O-Town are dropping some not-so-subtle hints that they will be reuniting. There's a mysterious countdown clock on their website, and they have been tweeting (and retweeting) some preeeetty obvious comeback clues. 

The 'All or Nothing' boy band began teasing fans with the first inklings of a 2014 comeback when they put up a countdown on the homepage of their official website, writing on Twitter:

When news outlets like Perez Hilton started picking up on the clues, the band tweeted the articles, building up even more hype:

But the most telling tweet of all was when they retweeted Marcus Monroe, who excitedly revealed that he was "very close" to making the official announcement that he will be opening for O-Town:

Not to mention that the band revamped their Twitter bio, choosing updated pictures of the group for their profile and background photos. However, one significant member is missing from the snapshots: blonde cutie (and lead singer) Ashley Parker Angel. Will the band reunite as a four piece without their fifth member?

That's what it looks like, considering Angel declined an O-Town reunion in the past. In 2011, the band was posed to make a comeback, but he decided not to be a part of it, telling TMZ at the time: "I have made the decision not to be a part of an O-Town reunion. It was a difficult decision, but ultimately necessary to move on with the next chapter of my career."

It looks as if he may have declined the reunion this time around, too -- but we'd be lying if we said we still weren't psyched as all heck at the idea of an O-Town comeback, Ashley Parker Angel or not.

Bring on the 'Liquid Dreams,' boys!
