Hanson

Hanson is a pop-rock band that takes its name from the brothers who comprise it - Isaac (guitar), Taylor (keyboard) and Zac Hanson (drums). After releasing two albums independently -- (Boomerang released in 1995 and MMMBop released in 1996) -- they landed a record contract with Mercury Records. In 1997, Hanson released their major label debut album, Middle of Nowhere, when the youngest brother was just 11 years old. The album featured tracks from their two previous albums as well as new material, including the massive hit single "MMMBop", which went to No.1 in almost every country in which it was released. It helped Middle of Nowhere achieve multi-platinum status. Follow up album, This Time Around failed to match the band's previous success.

Hanson split with their label in 2003 and now records on their own independent label, 3CG Records. They have released two full-length albums, 2004's Underneath and 2007's The Walk. Their next album, titled Shout It Out will be released June 1st, 2010.
