Posted January 19, 200718 yr Pop rock band of brothers, Hanson are readying the release of their second independent album The Walk. After hitting the radio hard in the nineties with catchy hits like "MMMBop", "Where's the Love?" and "Weird" the band parted ways with their record company due to creative differences. Eventually the band released their 2004 record Underneath on their own independent record label and it shot to the top of the US Indie charts. Their struggles to release their indie hit became the subject of the upcoming documentary film Strong Enough to Break due out sometime in 2007. The film will also be available on iTunes in installments on their docu-series podcast ,Taking the Walk. The first portion is available right now. Their upcoming album The Walk is due for release in Canada as well as in the rest of North America on May 22 but will hit stores in the UK on April 30 and in Japan on February 21. Along with getting the record first Japan will also get a couple of bonus tracks "In A Way" and "I Am". Here are the tracks the rest of the world will be able to hear: "Intro (Ngi Ne Themba)" "Great Divide" "Been There Before" "Georgia" "Watch Over Me" "Running Man" "Go" "Fire In The Mountain" "One More" "Blue Sky" "Tearing It Down" "Something Going Round" "Your Illusion" "The Walk" http://www.hanson.net http://www.takingthewalk.com/ http://www.cookingvinyl.com/press/d/3381-2/COOKCD398.jpg
