Hanson is not trash!

That three guys between 11 and 16 years old can write a hit single that has a very big chance of being the big summer hit! And MMMBop is just the beginning! Isaac 16, Taylor 14 and Zac 11 are the names of these fantastic kids that right now are the top conversation of the summer! They are from Tulsa, Oklahoma! And since 1992 the guys are very well known there! When you meet the Hanson Brothers they seem to have really fun! And moving to Europe is of-course ther dream! Under the interweave Zac tried to turn of the tape-recorder all the time and when he got caught he just put on a great big smile!

Zac was only six years old when we started, so that means we have been going for some time now! Isaac says! I think everybody In Tulsa knows how we are but I was first when we got our own manager we became famous! Taylor says Then we had already record two albums that we sold to our friends! Three of our old songs are on our debut album Middle of Nowhere and one of them is MMMBop! When our mum asks us if we could do the dishes we just said no can do mum we have to practice our new song! Zac wrote the song Man from Milwaukee and we thought that he probably watches The X-Files! In the begining we only wrote songs about our brother and sisters but know we have found out that girls are quite interesting! Taylor says with laughter! Of course we asked the guys if the had girlfriends!

Zac don't seem to care, Isaac looks kind of satisfied and Taylor doesn't know what to say! But then he says I dont think that it will be a problem! The love letters are already coming in! Taylor says that Isaac loves girls and then he started to laugh! And we can promise that the girls will love them back all three of them!
