Jonas Brothers
New Jersey siblings Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of the Ramones, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young East Coast natives (as of 2006 the trio topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musician parents. The group formed initially around the soulful voice of Nicholas, who had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, but when the brothers began writing and performing new songs together, it became apparent to both band and label that something special was happening. Their full-length debut, "It's About Time", was released in August 2006, followed by the eponymous Jonas Brothers in 2007.
August 2008 will see the release of their third album, "A Little Bit Longer", which will be their second on Hollywood Records. The boys embarked on the Burning Up Tour in July in support of the album.
