Mmmboptastic – The Ultimate Hanson Fan Site since 2000
July 8, 2013 by Dani When you have twenty-one years of experience in the music industry, people tend to try to put you in a proverbial box. Hanson has been labeled time and again as everything from a “boy band” to a one hit wonder. Rather than adopting those stigmas, they’ve fought to create music […]
Hanson – Anthem By Jeremy Williams, Arts Correspondent Hanson have come of age, with troupe marking their 21st anniversary as band by releasing their own beer brand – MMMHops – and unveiling their latest studio ‘Anthem’. However, given that the trio are still best known on these shores for their debut single ‘MMMBop’, the distance between […]
Anthem On Wednesday 19th June Hanson released their 6th studio album, Anthem, in USA and held a launch party in New York City. The event was shown across America through AXS TV. Anthem raced through invisible connections from Amazon and I Tunes to computers and smart phones; hard copies of the music arrived […]
By Steven Hyden on June 19, 2013 Grantland Welcome to Escape From Pop Purgatory, where we check out new music made by people who are more well-known than 98 percent of the oppressively “cool” artists who the media obsesses over, and yet are commonly perceived to be years past the point of their cultural relevance. (Pop Purgatory is […]
June 19th, 2013 by Colin McGuire In 2010, Hanson released the great record everyone always knew they could make. Backed by a charming if not brilliant music video that depicted the group re-imagining The Blues Brothers’ “Shake A Tail Feather” scenes for lead single “Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’”, Shout It Out highlighted Hanson’s soul music chops […]

June 17th, 2013 by James McNair Though their fiendishly catchy 1997 single MMMBop remains Hanson’s chief claim to fame, the Oklahoma-born brothers have long since grown beyond their cutesy-pop beginnings. Syncopated, ear-worm-filled music is still their forte, but six albums in, the bloodline-tight harmonies of Issac, Taylor and Zac sound much more mature. Since founding […]
June 18th, 2013 by Joe Gross “Come with us if you want to live,” Hanson sing on the White Stripes-y “Fired Up.” The brothers who gave you 1997’s Disney-funk fantasia “MMMBop” can’t back up that superhero brag. But their very existence is a marvel, and from the bubble grooves of the boldly titled “I’ve Got […]
June 18th, 2013 by Lexi Bisonnette The brothers are back with their newest album, Anthem, which continues to deliver the same upbeat and good natured sound as their previous works. Fans of the pop band have nothing to let them down with as brothers Isaac, Zac and Taylor produced and wrote the album completely on their […]
June 18th, 2013 Old pros since childhood, Hanson long ago shed the exuberance that characterized the records of their youth, yet they’ve never switched their pop blueprint. They still pledge allegiance to classic rock, rooted in the ’60s but seen through the prism of the ’80s, with the latter decade taking precedence as the group […]
