The decision to go it alone is never an easy one to make, particularly in the high-stakes world of the music industry.

But going it alone is exactly what the three young brothers who make up Hanson decided to do for their new album, Underneath. And the good news is that it’s a strategy that seems to be working.

“What’s cool about being independent is that you have the opportunity to evolve and grow and change with the times in a way you may not have otherwise had,” says oldest brother Isaac. “You have the opportunity to make your own decisions about how to release your own records.”
