Let’s face it , everyone at least once in our first approach with Hanson, we found it difficult to define the genre of each member of the group.
Blame age , their debut the eldest was only 15 years old, guilty of features so refined, the perfect smile with your lips naturally pink and especially guilty of sloppy style of the 90 ‘s, he could hardly , with its fantasies maxipull embarrassing , to emphasize the masculinity or femininity of a person.

The debut single ” Mmmbop ” accompanied by a video that showed for the first time the faces of the band , he could not answer that existential doubt that revolved around the identity of the children .
An algebraic equation from the result unreadable.
In the clip stalwart three teenagers, who could easily be three girls moustached -free styling , running around the world discovering places hitherto unknown .
The line of separation between an Aryan and a ménage a trois between family picnic was really thin .

But today was something none of indecipherable siblings ?
Seems to have multiplied and have given birth to a massive supply of blonde offspring in which to invest . They opened their own label discography and on 9 April he released a new single “Get the Girl Back” which was followed by an album, ” Anthem” , and a tour.
But in our hearts we will always remember them with hair in the wind
