In 1997, Hanson scored a major hit as children with MMMBop, and now that they are in their 20s, they might have actually evolved into a credible rock trio.
Many consider MMMBop to be one of the worst songs ever created…and as if that wasn’t aggravating enough to hear, it was constantly played on MTV.
Zac, Isaac, and Taylor Hanson are set to perform five shows in London this June. The British audience tends to be forgiving about most things, yet I don’t foresee Hanson making their way here anytime soon…though I sincerely hope to be proven wrong.
Their fifth album, Shout It Out, is garnering praise from some journalists who are labeling it as ‘brilliant’. It’s set to be released on June 5th.
Taylor mentioned to me, “There are certainly people who get too attached to you. I don’t think you can even take credit for that. There are things we can’t talk about because people would think it is too disturbing but that is just a small group of people.”
If he implies that we would be shocked by the band’s drug use and wild parties, then there’s no need to worry overly…most of us could have anticipated that upon first hearing you.
The band Hanson always seemed like a disaster waiting to happen.
