Boys to men: Why Hanson are embracing their boy band past

“Crank it up, roll the windows down, go fast.”

That was how Isaac Hanson described the first track, titled Fired Up, from the band’s new album Anthem.

It’s a far cry from the group’s breakout 1997 hit MMMbop, but the eldest Hanson brother said similar themes have been present throughout their work.

“MMMbop ultimately is about trying to see the positive in the negative, trying to see the positive relationships you’ll have the in the face of challenge and strife,” Isaac said.

“Truth be told, that song in many ways was about us choosing to pursue music in spite of other things going on.”

“We decided that we were going to go forward with [a music career] because this is what we love and that has been a consistent theme throughout our whole career.”

Frontman Taylor said the song was partly inspired by “friends that didn’t get” the brothers’ early determination and passion for music.

“The cool thing about where we are and the fact that we’ve started so young is, I’m 30, but we’ve been doing this since we were kids,” he said.

“In many cases, we’re peers with bands that have maybe just put out a couple of records. There’s just so much more ahead of us.”

While there is a renewed interest in the group following the release of Anthem, their sixth studio album, the band said they had “never really stopped”.

“We were really at the beginning of the generation of people who grew up with web access,” Isaac said.

“Were it not for that, our ability to stay connected with fans, like our Australian fans, would have been practically impossible as we wouldn’t have been able to maintain that constancy, even when you’re busy somewhere else.”

Taylor said that history had brought them to a “good moment” where they felt they could appeal to fans of “different ages”.

“I don’t think we’re ever interested in pushing aside what we’ve done in the past, but of course you want to move forward,” he said.

“If you go to see a Hanson show now, you see a range of people we’ve literally grown up with, you see people who’ve discovered it halfway through and maybe only heard two or three albums.”

Despite the overriding theme, the band said their music has a new perspective. Each of the brothers is now married with children.

“We never really wrote about our autobiography, but I mean for sure in the love songs there’s a little bit more about keeping it together and staying true to things as opposed to the first infatuation with someone,” Taylor said.

“Really we’ve always written songs that were about things beyond ourselves and that’s part of what’s great about being an artist, being able to sit down and imagine a story and tell it.”

Youngest brother Zac is currently “under the weather” and so will likely miss out on some sightseeing, though he has still taken to the drums during the tour.

Taylor and Isaac said they were determined to check out some of Western Australia’s “natural beauty” for themselves. Taylor, “a photography nerd” is carrying around a vintage camera on tour to capture some of the sights.

“We’ve seen a lot, you see all the sights. Of course you see a lot of hotel rooms and airports and radio stations but we kind of take it in as you can,” said Isaac.

“Hopefully as we make Australia a regular touring stop for ourselves, only having been two years since our last run through the country, we’ll have a few days to see new things.”

Hanson will play Metropolis Fremantle on Friday night. Tickets are available here.

[VIDEO] Interview: Hanson – “All Musicians Are Entrepreneurs”

Hanson, the American pop-rock sibling trio responsible for provoking teen hysteria in the mid 90s, are currently in the country playing shows on their Anthem World Tour. Music Feeds managed to catch up with brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac and chat about what it’s like balancing the music and the business.

“It starts with passion for the music, you do the business because of the passion for the music,” explains Taylor. “All musicians are entrepreneurs whether they realise it or not,” adds Zac. “You have this band or this music you created and it has this identity, and just like someone who started a cool hotel chain, you have this responsibility of, ‘how is this going to be represented in the world?’ I care about it, I’m making it, I’m creating it, so I want to be a part of all those processes.”

The pop-rock trio sad their “view form the top” and bad experiences with major label mergers in a “messed up” industry gave them the push to go out and do things on their own, establishing their own label and deciding themselves how they want their music to be shared.

“It has been cool to watch technology catch up to the way we wanted to run our business as a band,” says Taylor. “Bandwidth is high, mobile is really cool. Things we always wanted to do when we first started the label are kind of coming of age now.”

Hanson continue their run of dates in Australia at The Hi-Fi in Sydney tonight, before playing Fremantle and Auckland.

Hanson perform 'MMMBop' on Smallzy

orget One Direction, forget Bieber and 5 Seconds of something. Anyone who grew up in the 90s knows that the only boy band worth ever knowing about was is Hanson.

The first time you heard MMMBop on the radio, you probably went home that day and recorded the song with your cassette recorder to add it to your homemade mix tape.

Then you and the girls probably sat around pulling the Hanson posters out of your TV Hits magazine then did your Dolly quiz about which Hanson brother you’d wind up marrying (Taylor…duh).

Well 18 years later the boys are still babes, still making music and still being dreamy.

In Australia for their ‘Anthem World Tour’ and stopped by The Surgery for a chat with Smallzy….and were kind enough to make all pre-teen girls of the 90s dream come true by performing….’MMMBop’

Taylor Hanson Talks About Beer

[VIDEO] What the Ale: The Hop Jam Beer tasting Wrap Up

BY TOM GILBERT Chief Photographer |

What an event it was. The Hop Jam. The crowds did come and they did drink lots of beer.

I wasn’t able to attend most of the beer tasting due to my daughter’s baccalaureate. When I did arrive, the lines were long and the brewers were pouring as fast as they could. So this can be a lesson for some of the new craft beer drinkers going to a beer tasting event. Come to the festival when it starts because beer does run out. I have been to a few and have been disappointed because I wasn’t there early enough to try what I wanted. But that disappointment doesn’t last long.

There are always beer events around the corner and, with our growing craft beer industry, I don’t see the beer tastings going away.

For the first year you want people to show up and when you have a lot of people, well, you feel the word got out.

I can only imagine what the next Hop Jam is going to be like. With the creative Hanson brothers behind it, I am sure there will be more beer to sample and good things happening. I hope that all of the Hanson fans that traveled from all over the world had a good time in Tulsa and tried some of Oklahoma’s great craft beers.
