The sibling trio is photogenic like the Hanson boys, they play their own instruments like the Hanson three, and they sound like Hanson. The comparisons are inevitable, but whatever people choose to call the Brothers, the word talented needs to be in there somewhere. On their self-titled second album (their first for Hollywood Records), the Brothers use the well worked pop formula that has made their record label a great deal of money. With the youngest Jonas only 14, and the oldest 19, it's easy to understand why Jonas Brothers is a slicked up platter tailored for the Disney Channel. The 14-track disc is a pleasant audio experience geared more toward teens and preteens (although moms and dads will secretly dig it too, even if they don't admit it). The Jonas Brothers don't get any points for originality, but the boys, Nicholas (keyboards, vocals), Kevin (guitar, vocals), and Joe (vocals), get high marks for their ability to parrot current and past musical trends. "S.O.S" kicks the disc off on a jittering, be-bop note. The track channels the sugar-coated niceness of High School Musical and the addictive funk of the Kinks. "I gave my all for you," the Brothers sing, "now my heart's in two." "That's Just The Way We Roll" merges a chunking '70s rhythm with a 21st century production. Big guitars and a catchy chorus make up for the song's oddball lyrics. "Kids Of The Future" is a revamped version of Kim Wilde's irresistible '80s hit, "Kids In America." The Brothers turn Wilde's arena rocker into a stadium sized jam that is too cool to ignore, as is "Australia," a glassy rocker with tight harmonies and beefy guitars. From edgy rock to light pop, Nick, Kevin, and Joe go in many different directions on Jonas Brothers. The string washed "When You Look Me In The Eyes" takes the power ballad to a whole new level. Balladeers like Jon Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, and Meat Loaf have nothing on the Brothers. Man, these kids can really sing. If one song could take the young popsters out of the teen and tween market and into the adult market, this is it. Whether you want to call them the new Hanson or a bionic version of High School Musical, it's hard to ignore the appeal of this New Jersey trio. Jonas Brothers is a fun little disc that grows on you with every spin. By Todd Sterling

One of the most popular teen-affiliated groups of the 2000s, the Jonas Brothers' craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of McFly, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young New Jersey natives (while readying their 2006 debut, brothers Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musical parents. Nicholas showed a particular flair for singing; by the age of seven, he'd already begun a modest career as a Broadway performer. The young performer also took an interest in songwriting, even co-writing a Christmas tune in 2002 alongside his father. Several years later, his soulful voice had wowed enough executives at Daylight⁄Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, and Nicholas began writing original material with help from his two brothers. The siblings' songs impressed the president of Columbia, who ultimately signed the trio in 2005. The Jonas Brothers' full-length debut, It's About Time, was released in August 2006. Featuring the songwriting talents of Desmond Child and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, the album peaked at number 91 on the Billboard charts and earned the siblings a modest audience, particularly among fans of Radio Disney. Nevertheless, the Jonas Brothers were dropped from Columbia's roster in early 2007. They bounced back by signing with Hollywood Records, a Disney-owned label that helped the group exponentially expand its fan base. An eponymous sophomore album, Jonas Brothers, arrived in August 2007, supported by a number of Jonas Brothers appearances on the Disney Channel's various programs. The band also toured in support of the record, selling out shows coast to coast -- including a stop at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, which was the fastest sold-out show in the venue's history. The reality television show Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream documented the band's life on the road, and the band's TV presence was furthered along by Camp Rock, a 2008 Disney Channel television movie that featured the brothers and up-and-coming star Demi Lovato. The movie was watched by 8.9 million viewers and launched the Jonas Brothers' next single, "Burnin' Up," which helped whet demand for the release of A Little Bit Longer later that year. In 2009 the trio released Music from the 3D Concert Experience, along with the live concert film of the same name. ~ James Christopher Monger & Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide Information provided by Macrovision Corporation © 2009.
