Okay. Funny story.

Originally we set out to give a fair critical and retrospective shake to Middle Of Nowhere, the 1997 full-length debut from Tulsa, Oklahoma act Hanson. The record most famous for the pop rock mega-hit "MMM Bop", it was a critical smash and a commercial powerhouse that sold over 10 million albums worldwide, but somehow never quite translated to artistic credibility down the line for the then teenaged band.

On this episode of Jukebox Zeroes, Lilz and Patrick, along with previous guests and fan favorites Ashleigh and Maggie of Rock Candy, originally sought out to stand up for Hanson and their abilities to write their own music, perform their own instruments, and take in influences well beyond their years.

That was the original plan.

Then we discovered some truly heinous controversial shit.

So instead enjoy this episode of random nonsense rooted around the slim pretense of listening to Middle Of Nowhere and critiquing it.

Frasier have mercy on us all.
