With their debut album, Middle of Nowhere, the three Hanson brothers have hit the top charts in both the US & Britain.
The threesome, namely Zachary, Taylor and Issac, sing and play instruments for their own songs. Some of the songs, such as MMMBop, were written solely by the brothers themselves.
Zachary, age 11, plays the drum; Taylor, 14, plays the keyboard, and the eldest who is 16 plays the guitar.
Due to their father's job in the oil industry, the Hanson brothers have spent much of their lives in places such as Ecuador and Venezuela. They didn't have much chance to listen to up-to-date music. In fact, they listened to one well-worn compilation of rock 'n' roll music.This lead to the boys composing songs and performing them. Since 1992, the Hanson brothers have recorded 2 self-distributed CDs, written more than 100 original songs and performed in public many times. Once Hanson had to perform outside a hip Tulsa bar because they were too young to get in.
The trio sings about friendship, girls, family members, loneliness and even aliens.
