The babely Hanson boys are back-and their new sound is anything but boppy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 May 2000<\/p>\n

By Alyssa Vitrano<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost three years since Hanson\u2019s happy-pop debut rocketed them from the Middle of Nowhere to the middle of everywhere with smash hits like \u201cMMMBop\u201d and \u201cWhere\u2019s the Love?\u201d And This Time Around, they\u2019re wowing everyone with an incredibly accomplished follow-up, out this month. Billboard raves that \u201cThis Time Around,\u201d the album\u2019s first single, \u201cwill simply make your mouth drop open\u201d-and that\u2019s certainly what\u2019s happening to tons of fans. Here, the blond brothers-Isaac, 19, on guitar, Taylor, 17, on keyboards, and 14-year-old Zac, on drums-spill some family secrets.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> So, how does it feel to be back on top?
\nTaylor:<\/strong> We\u2019ve grown up some and experienced different things. That\u2019s inspired different kinds of songs. Our songs are absolutely still tunes you can remember-and that\u2019s pop music. But it\u2019s also rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.
\nIsaac:<\/strong> We also wanted it to be about not losing your roots, and about connecting to the real soul music that has influenced us.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> What do you consider real soul music?
\nIsaac:<\/strong> Rock from the \u201950s and \u201960s, like Chuck Berry. What\u2019s so great about musicians from those eras is that they were coming up with something new. Rock\u2019n\u2019 roll first came on the scene and people were like, \u201cOh my gosh, they\u2019re dancing!\u201d It was an exciting era and everybody was so real. Nobody was telling them what to do.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> When your first album came out, the musical landscape was packed with grunge acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. What\u2019s it like being on the charts with all the boy bands now?
\nTaylor:<\/strong> It\u2019s kind of weird, because the last time we came out, the music scene was much more rock-oriented. Now everything\u2019s gone really pop, and our record is a little more rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> So, do you follow the beat of your won drummer-no pun intended, Zac-on purpose?
\nTaylor:<\/strong> It\u2019s never been a conscious choice of ours to produce something different. We just act like ourselves and think of music we feel good about.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> What kind of process do you guys go through when you write your songs?
\nIsaac:<\/strong> It\u2019s very much a collaborative effort. It happens in all kinds of different ways, but everybody always gets involved somewhere. Sometimes we\u2019ll just sit down and start playing the guitar or the keyboard, and stuff comes. Most of the time we have active imaginations, so while we aren\u2019t writing songs about things that necessarily happened, they\u2019re still emotions everybody feels. We just start telling a story.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> In addition to writing all the music on your album, you invited some cool collaborators, like blues guitarist Jonny Lang, Blues Traveler\u2019s John Popper, and DJ Swamp, to jam with you. How\u2019d you hook up with them?
\nTaylor:<\/strong> We\u2019re fans of theirs, and I think it really added great texture and flavor to the album. A third party can look at it from a different perspective. When you are producing an album on your own, you can get completely locked in and lose track of what you really are.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> What did you guys do after you finished the nonstop touring for your last album?
\nZac:<\/strong> We took a break for a couple of months to just chill. We spent some time at home, sleeping 12 hours a day, stuff like that.
\nYM:<\/strong> No downtime activities?
\nZac:<\/strong> We all have dirt bikes. There are a lot of fields in Oklahoma where we ride.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> Have you ever gotten hurt?
\nZac:<\/strong> Once I hit a rock and my bike flipped. I blacked out and my friend was like, \u201cDude, are you okay?\u201d I was like, \u201cWhat just happened?\u201d My shoulder was a little sore, but it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> In what ways have you changed since the world last saw you?
\nZac:<\/strong> My voice is lower and I\u2019m four or five inches taller! My shoe size has changed, like, three sizes.
\nTaylor:<\/strong> Musically, our songwriting has evolved and our chord structure has changed. We\u2019re growing, and we\u2019re getting better at our instruments.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> What\u2019s the most interesting thing about being in a band with your brothers?
\nZac:<\/strong> We\u2019ve been together for our whole lives, which helps in decision-making. I think we trust each other a little more than if we were just friends.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> How do you deal if the three of you are fighting?
\nZac:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019re an odd number, so it\u2019s always two against one. And if you\u2019re that one perosn, you\u2019ve gotta look at the other side a little more, and then you figure out that there\u2019s something stupid about what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> And what\u2019s up on the romance front?
\nZac:<\/strong> I haven\u2019t found anybody in particular. I don\u2019t think any of us really has a girlfriend right now.<\/p>\n

YM:<\/strong> Well, if someone wanted to apply for the position, what qualities would you look for?
\nZac:<\/strong> Understanding would be the most important quality in a girlfriend. I might be 14, but I actually have a job!
\nYM:<\/strong> We understand, Zac!<\/p>\n
