This is the band Hanson!!!!!! Sounding like a revamped Jackson 5 for the '90s, Hanson came storming out of Tulsa, OK, in 1997 blessed with photogenic looks and a surprisingly infectious sense of melody. Hanson had a sunny pop sense that stood in direct contrast to the gloomy grunge that dominated the '90s. In 2003 following their separation from Island Def Jam Records (IDJ), the main struggle with the label was what the band felt was lack of creative freedom. This, after label executives refused over 80 songs from the band, believing new material lacked marketability, and insisting on restricting the recording process. Hanson set up their own 3CG Record label and released Underneath in April 2004. Songwriting collaborations with Matthew Sweet and Gregg Alexander built on the mature sound of This Time Around. With teen pop behind them, the band shifted their audience to something more grassroots and indie pop by completely financing the marketing of Underneath in the U.S. and supporting the release of the album with straight-ahead, no-frills shows at various colleges. Underneath debut at number 1 on Billboard Indie Chart. It is also the one of the most successful self-released albums of all time. In the summer of 2006 Hanson traveled to South Africa to record a track, "Great Divide," with a school choir in Soweto. The single was released on iTunes later that year, and the proceeds were donated to AIDS research. The band released their fourth full-length studio album The Walk on 3CG Records. Now in 2009 Hanson is in the middle of recording their fifth full-length studio album we (the fans) are not sure when it will be released. But Hanson said on their wesite (hanson.net) that they will be getting out on the road come late August / Early September 2009. For more info on HANSON visit WWW.HANSON.NET
