The pop rock trio of Hanson has just returned to the recording scene and they’re making their comeback felt  by announcing their new music. The good news includes the upcoming release of  their new single and its matching music video,  a forthcoming album from where the new song is taken, and to top it all of, a  concert tour where they could promote all of these.
Brothers Isaac  Hanson, Taylor Hanson and Zac Hanson will release on April 4 the debut single  “Get the Girl Back”, a new track that features the old familiar soulful pop-rock  sound of Hanson. Simultaneously, its music video starring Kat Dennings of “2 Broke  Girls” and Nikki  Reed of “Twilight” and “Thirteen“, will be  premiered online on VH1.com and on air on the VH1 Top 20 countdown on April 6. A  few days after, the threesome is set to appear “The  Tonight Show with Jay Leno” to perform the new song.
As for their  new album entitled “Anthem“, the LP produced and written by the Hanson brothers themselves and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge will be released on June 18. To promote the new album, they will embark on an “Anthem World Tour” that will take them across North and South America from the months of July until  November.
Hanson’s comeback comes in the heels of the reemergence of  another sibling trio, the Jonas  Brothers, but 2013 seems to have a bigger significance to the Hanson men.  This year marks their 21st anniversary as the Hanson pop rock band that has so  far sold 16 million albums worldwide, released five studio albums and earned  multiple Grammy nominations.

According to an Apr. 1 report from PerezHilton.com, Hanson is back with new music and a new tour, after two decades of tearing up stages across the globe.

Hanson is set to perform at Huntington‘s Paramount on Sept. 1 at 8 p.m., as part of the band’s upcoming “Anthem” world tour.

Tickets, reasonably priced at $29.99 and $35, go on sale on Apr. 9 at 11 a.m.

Pop-Rock trio Hanson is excited to announce the release of their new album and world tour.

Hanson’s fantastic new record Anthem, is set to be released on June 18, and the band will release their debut single, ‘Get The Girl Back’, along with the presale of the highly anticipated album, and the onsale of the North and South American leg of their World Tour including deluxe album and ticket bundles on Apr. 9.

Pre-orders for the single and the music video are available on iTunes starting Apr. 1.

The rest of the band’s international tour schedule and album release dates will be announced in May.

Hanson’s infectious new single ‘Get The Girl Back’, which features the band’s signature soulful pop-rock sound, will be introduced to fans through the buzzworthy music video featuring Kat Dennings (Two Broke Girls) and Nikki Reed (Twilight/Thirteen).

The video is set to premiere online on VH1.com on Apr. 4th, and on-air on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown on Apr. 6th.

Hanson will perform the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Apr. 9th.  The video  is  a narrative tale which features the band performing in a packed club backed by an old-school brass section  that  accentuates  the retro aesthetic of the song .

Anthem, produced and written by the band  and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, features a more guitar – driven sound, pulling from a series of harder hitting rock and R&B influences from   James Brown to early Michael Jackson , even a little AC/DC.

2013 marks the 21st anniversary of  Hanson, and Sept. 1 will be their first ever performance at The Paramount.

Hanson has been nominated for multiple Grammys, released five studio albums, spawning a string of hit singles, including their 1997 #1 smash MMMbop , and have sold over 16 million albums  worldwide.

Hanson, 'Anthem:' Band Announces Album Details, Tour Dates

AOL Music Blog

hanson anthem tour dates3CG Records  Hanson fans, are you ready for new music?
The brothers announced they will be dropping their ninth studio album, Anthem, on June 18, and will kick off the Anthem World Tour on July 18.
The band also revealed the album’s first single, “Get the Girl Back,” will be released April 9, with the single available for pre-order on April 1.
The video for “Get the Girl Back,” which includes cameos by Nikki Reed, Drake Bell, Drew Seeley and Kat Dennings, will premiere on April 6. The video is set in a club and features another special appearance — Hanson fans!
Back in January, Isaac Hanson talked with AOL Music about recruiting members of the band’s fanbase to appear in the video.
“It was fun for us to have the opportunity to give the fanbase a little teaser, and also for them to feel intimately involved in a way that normally fans of a band don’t get that opportunity particularly,” he explained, “Maybe wind up with a random shot of them in the band that they like’s music video.”
Luckily, “Get the Girl Back” was the perfect setting for fan interaction.
“We thought that was a fun opportunity and, most importantly, it wouldn’t work if the treatment for the song and for the video didn’t call for that kind of engagement,” Isaac added. “But since it did, we were like, ‘We gotta make this happen and get the fans involved ’cause they’ll have a good time.’ And luckily the response was good!”
Check out a behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Get the Girl Back” in the video below.
