There are at least two artists which have used the name Hanson
1. A pop rock group from Oklahoma, United States
2. A funk rock group from the United Kingdom active in the 1970’s.

1. Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Isaac Hanson, pianist and vocalist Taylor Hanson, and drummer and vocalist Zac Hanson. Their work has spanned many different genres, including rock, blues, folk, and pop. They are most noted for their Grammy-nominated 1997 hit single, “MMMBop.” Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the band’s third recorded album and first major studio album, also nominated for a Grammy) was met with critical acclaim and went on to achieve multi-platinum status. The group’s subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothers’ considerable talent and artistic growth, receiving wide critical acclaim for its bluesy/classic-rock and soulful pop harmonies. The album failed to repeat the commercial success of Middle of Nowhere however, only achieving gold status. The album has since been considered a trend-setter and precursor for such acts as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton and Eisley.

After many promotional and artistic conflicts with Island/Def Jam, Hanson split from the label in 2003 and started their own label, 3CG Records. In 2004, they released their third major studio album, Underneath, independently. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time.

    Hanson can piss on both Justin Bieber and 1D. When they came out Zac was only 11 and Taylor 13. I defy anyone to write such good songs at that young age and sing them with the amazing, soulful vocals Taylor showed at just 13. They have always been A REAL BAND, not a boy band or a manufactured pop act, and they always sang and played at the same time at their gigs. Their live performances have always been outstanding, with pitch perfect harmonies. Plus: they are still incredibly good. If they are not at the top of the charts it is because they had the guts to break from the major label insane manufacturing machine, that wanted to alter their sound and artistic identity. And kudos to them for this. Still, they managed to retain a solid fan base through the sheer quality of their music. Last but not least: none of them became a total fruitcake, despite being so successful so young. They are all married with kids. [3]
