Embracing Their '90s Legacy
The band members continue to embrace their '90s roots. In a 2024 interview, they shared their appreciation for gaining recognition during that era and breaking into the industry when they did.

"I mean, we're proud of where we've come from. You never want to live in the past, but your origin is what it is. It's where you came [from] and there was a lot of great music," they shared.

The trio reflected on the diverse music scene of the time, "Rock bands, pop bands, hip-hop, R&B, all happening at once. And the way the Top 40 was, it was definitely like a hop. We took No. 1 from Notorious B.I.G. That's what [the music scene] looked like."

The era's dynamic landscape influenced their early years in music. The brothers, who began making music in 1992, acknowledged that the '90s brought a wave of inspiration that helped define their sound and led them back into the industry.

Those experiences culminated in their 1997 album "Middle of Nowhere," which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and featured the global hit "MMMBop."

They respected artists who succeeded during the decade, such as Spin Doctors and Tonic. The brothers have since collaborated with several musicians from that era. They have worked with those they admired and suggested a possible collaboration with Spin Doctors and Counting Crows.

Overcoming Creative Struggles
The music stars overcame internal tensions to create "Anthem" in 2013. "There was a very good chance that this band could have broken up, for sure," the middle brother admitted, explaining that after touring for "Shout It Out," they felt worn out and paused recording in early 2012.

The youngest said they fought for the album when they regrouped, while their older brother questioned whether their next 20 years would begin with this record and what it should sound like.

Staying True to Their Sound
By 2020, the musicians reflected on how "This Time Around" shaped their future. Despite pressure to follow pop trends, they focused on authenticity, collaborating with producers like Ric Ocasek.

The album earned critical acclaim, but they distanced themselves from the "Total Request Live" era, prioritizing touring and building a loyal fan community.

Creative autonomy wasn't always easy, but they remained committed to their vision. "When you believe in it and when you are proud of it, success is already yours," said the group.

Family First: Fatherhood and Love Stories
Beyond their music, their family has remained their greatest priority. As a pop rock band that still performs, they make time for fatherhood regardless of the circumstances.
The oldest sibling ensures bedtime stories happen even after encores, while the middle brother believes being a dad means putting his child's needs above everything — even conversations with famous musicians.

Their deep commitment to their family began when they met their wives — each at a concert. During a joint interview in May 2022, the eldest recalled a "panic moment" when he realized the woman he had been singing to throughout the show wasn't impressed by his fame.
