Hanson Is All Grown Up — and Dads of 15! Inside Their 'Awesome Journey' in the 25 Years Since 'MMMBop'
It's a sunny May afternoon in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Hanson brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac are attempting the impossible: getting their combined 15 kids — ranging in age from 1 to 19 — to smile for the camera during a PEOPLE photo shoot at the band's recording studio.
One of Taylor's sons, 3-year-old Indiana, is proving especially tricky to persuade.
"Indiana, do not look at the camera!" they all take turns telling him, trying reverse psychology. It works.

Their songs, performed in a Ramones style, focus mainly on beer, ice hockey and girls.
