Their debut 2006 album ‘It’s About Time’ included stellar covers of Busted’s “What I Go to School For” as well as “Year 3000” with a slight lyric change to accommodate a younger audience (“Triple breasted women swim around town / Totally naked!” modified to “Girls there with round hair like Star Wars / Float above the floor.”) Besides these hits, the album overall lacked a clear musical direction. The Jonas Brothers’ domination in the mid-to-late-2000s was not without its growing pains. Regardless, the band’s strong musical foundations in 2000s boyband pop still appeals to their now-adult fans who appreciate the group’s consistent image and sound. The audience, full of millennials and older Gen-Zers, can be seen proudly sporting their t-shirts from the band’s iconic 2008 “Burnin’ Up Tour’’ while others (such as myself) don the newer 2021 tour merchandise. Their shows are a whirlwind of 2000s nostalgia mixed with an electrifying dash of 2019 pop - fans sing and dance along to the decade-old song “S.O.S” one minute and their more recent release “Rollercoaster” the next. Just go to one of their 2021 concerts and you’ll be immediately transformed into who you were in 2008 - maybe a kid who just got off the bus and turns on Disney Channel to watch Camp Rock, or someone who scours through their CDs to listen to “Burnin’ Up” on repeat (I mean, who can blame you?). Few bands are as consistent and unchanging as the Jonas Brothers.
