Show all (7)New Jersey siblings Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of the Ramones, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young East Coast natives (as of 2006 the trio topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively) were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musician parents. The group formed initially around the soulful voice of Nicholas, who had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, but when the brothers began writing and performing new songs together, it became apparent to both band and label that something special was happening. Their full-length debut, "It's About Time", was released in August 2006, followed by the eponymous Jonas Brothers in 2007.
August 2008 will see the release of their third album, "A Little Bit Longer", which will be their second on Hollywood Records. The boys embarked on the Burning Up Tour in July in support of the album.

Thats the whole goal with the look. People can argue otherwise, but Disney knows how to sell people, and at this point in time, thats emo.
Everyone who seems to argue this is missing the key tenant of any Disney property, and that is that if they would make enough money off of it, they would even stage an upset with people over their own morality clause over what is obviously PG 13 ala Hanna Montana.

The Jonas Brothers are one of a kind. They are not emo by any means. They are a strong rock/pop band that is contagious after you hear one of their song on the radio. I am going to this event, and i recommend it to any one who loves good music. These boys grew up in a very strong christian home, wear Purity Rings, and about every girl in America is in love with them. I repeat.. TEHY ARE NOT EMO!!!!!!! Emo people scream into the microphones, and sing about dying and cutting themselves. In this case, these boys do not do that. They are not emo. They are POP/ROCK. Not any of that emo scremo crap. Just go to youtube and watch some of their videos. You will soon find out why thier tickets to every event they are at, is sold out in less then 5 minutes.

No, there's not much here we've haven't seen before. It isn't about us. It's about Disney. While many of the company's other works (e.g. Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid) maintain a relatively timeless appeal, pop stars must be forever young, and kids today know Justin Timberlake as some old guy with a shaved head, Britney as a tragedy, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync as... who?

This looks like an Emo version of Hanson.
By that I mean Hanson had the looks of a kiddie hair band, and were emo. Maybe these kids look Emo and will act like an 80's hair band? This could be pretty funny...
