Essay title: Jonas Brothers?

The Jonas Brothers grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey and are the sons of musical parents. They all grew up singing songs as a family and eventually began playing instruments and writing songs together. The youngest brother, Nick, first drew the attention of record company recruiters, but soon it became obvious the 3 Jonas brothers would be best as a group. Columbia Records signed them to a recording contract for their first album.

Group Members:

* Kevin Jonas, born November 5, 1987 - Lead guitar and backing vocals

* Joe Jonas, born August 15, 1989 - Lead vocals and keyboards

* Nick Jonas, born September 16, 1992 - Lead vocals and guitars

Breakthrough on MTV's TRL:

The Jonas Brothers first album It's About Time was released in August, 2006. Despite intense publicity, it only reached #91 on the Billboard album chart. However, the album's single "Mandy" did gain some attention. It was written by the brothers about a friend of their family who was taught sign language by the Jonas' mother so Mandy could pursue a career of helping the hearing impaired. The accompanying music video climbed to #3 on MTV's TRL.

The Sound of the Jonas Brothers:

The Jonas Brothers' music is high energy pop rock. It takes equal inspiration from classic bubblegum rock and punk. The result is hook-filled songs at high speed sweetened with the vocal harmonies of the brothers. The trio's second album expands the musical boundaries a bit, but still relies heavily on the group's trademark sound.
