We already saw them in splendid form live in Italy last year and now, in conjunction with the launch of the new single “Get the Girl Back', taken from the latest album 'Anthem", the Hanson announce the European tour, which will pass through Italy for two dates, 16 and 17 Decemberrespectively by Rome at the Atlantic and by Milan at the Magazzini Generali.
In over 20 years of their career together, the brothers Isaac, Taylor e Zac Hanson have left their mark. Born and raised in Oklahoma, they started composing songs as children and gained a following as an independent band before their international rise in 1997 with the hit "MMMBop', from their debut album 'Middle Of Nowhere". Since then, they have continued to dedicate themselves to music with perseverance and dedication, maintaining close ties with their fan base, without neglecting their social commitment - in 2007, the band launched a campaign to fight HIV in Africa and improve the living conditions of local populations (TakeTheWalk.net) – .
After 16 million records sold and numerous Grammys, the Hansons open their third decade of activity with 'Anthem"the sixth studio album released by the 3CGlabel they founded.
The album, which follows the acclaimed 'Shout It Out" from 2010, is a celebration of the power music has to bring people together. Written and produced entirely by the band and recorded in bucolic scenery of the Sonic Ranch Studios, "Anthem" blends together diverse influences, from soul to old-school r'n'r, reflecting the trio's love of the sixties, and draws listeners in with infectious energy.
The disc is enhanced by the presence of a number of guests, such as Tom 'Bones' Malone (Blues Brothers Band, David Letterman band) on woodwinds and Imani Coppola on the violin.
The video of the first single extract from "Anthem", "Get The Girl Back', features, among others, the actress Nikki Reed ('Thirteen'), and a cast of actors and musicians who are friends of the band.
