Biography
Ask the Jonas Brothers how they feel about the tremendous success they've experienced in 2007, and they'll reply how happy they are to be living the dream. "Every day is still a new adventure for us," says 20-year-old Kevin. "Having such great fans is one of the best feelings in the world," adds 18-year-old Joe. "All the love and support is inspiring for us. We're even writing our next record," says 15-year-old Nick.

Jonas Brothers is a high-energy pop-punk disc overflowing with insanely catchy hooks, muscular guitar fuzz and mature songwriting that reveals the brothers' growth as musicians and songwriters. Remarkably eclectic yet bound together by their trademark harmony vocals, the album is the natural result of the wild times the Jonases have experienced lately. After spending much of 2006 supporting their debut on the road, the brothers found themselves reaching a new audience earlier this year when the Disney Channel put the band's "Year 3000" video into heavy rotation. "As soon as that happened, the song entered the Top 10 on iTunes and our MySpace comments doubled," Kevin marvels. "It was almost impossible to keep up with the new friend requests!"

It didn't get any easier: The band's profile continued to rise over the next few months thanks to television appearances and Top 40 radio play. The stage was set. When Jonas Brothers released "S.O.S." in the U.S. on iTunes, it shot straight to #1.

Eager to provide their quickly expanding fanbase with new music, the band entered the studio and worked quickly - recording Jonas Brothers from beginning to end in a mere 21 days. It was a feat they accomplished in part because they knew the material so well. Whereas their debut featured work by a handful of professional songwriters, Jonas Brothers only contains songs penned by the Jonas Brothers themselves, with occasional assists by pals like Bleu ("That's Just the Way We Roll"), P.J. Bianco ("When You Look Me in the Eyes") and the boys' own backing band ("Games"). "As brothers, we just know how to work together," Nick explains.

The brothers say their writing reveals a lifetime of influences-everything from My Chemical Romance to the Backstreet Boys to Weird Al Yankovic (with whom the band recently shared the stage at New Jersey's Bamboozle festival). Still, what you really hear on Jonas Brothers is the sound of three musicians finding their own voice-their own distinctive blend of Nick's way with an R&B vocal, Joe's love of danceable beats and Kevin's obsession with guitar solos.

"This album is so us," says Joe. "The first one was us kind of coming into what the Jonas Brothers could be," Kevin adds. "Whereas this one really shows off where we're at right now." The youngest Jonas but perhaps the wisest, Nick concludes thus: "We love what we're doing and we want to do it for a while."
