If the name Jonas Brothers is unfamiliar to you, you have to be living under a rock. The Jonas Brothers, America's newest boy band craze, are stealing the hearts of both young and old with their lyrics, melodies, and irresistible charm.

The band consists of three brothers: Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15, who cannot be happier to be doing what they love. Their humbleness and gratitude shine through with their words, as they joke around constantly and everyone in the room almost forgets they're speaking to stars.

"We played for about two and a half years before we teamed up with Disney," Joe said. "We played in small clubs with ten people every night, but it was great training for what we're doing now and it's really has helped us grow."

The band is recording its third album, which is scheduled to release July 8.

"This next record is starting to sound great," Joe said. "It's mature as far as it's more structured and the style of music and all that. We're writing a lot of songs right now that we want people to hear."

According to Joe, the song writing process is an enjoyable activity for him and his brothers.

"We sit in a triangle and someone might have an idea during the day that we want to work on," he said. "If they have a melody or guitar lines, then we work off each other and work together on it."

Worldwide die-hard fans have already begun the countdown for this new CD. Calling thousands of times a day to win tickets to the brothers' concert, their excitement and passion has a big impact on the band.

"Our fans are such an amazing part of who we are because without them we would be nowhere," Kevin said. "We owe everything we have to our amazing fan base and how radical they are and because of them, we'll be able to come to the cities again and again."

After finishing with Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, their newest tour, 'When You Look Me in the Eyes,' started on January 31 in Arizona. Fans went wild and tickets were sold out almost immediately.

According to Kevin, Joe, and Nick, they're extremely excited to be on tour with each other and are just enjoying the "cool ride." They plan on playing four new songs from their upcoming album, including 'Burning Up,' which fans are very fond of.

"You kind of have a different respect for each other on tour," Joe said. "You play during the days and at night, and you can't start fighting and throwing guitars at each other. We're having such a good time and we get to enjoy it together. We watch each other's back and if we ever do get in arguments it's about the smallest things, like what song we're going to play or why Nick is wearing my socks."

Despite normal brotherly arguments like those, the boys make sure to behave appropriately, especially around the press.

"You have to pay attention to what you are doing because they'll take anything you do or say and twist it around," Kevin said. "It just all depends on how people are representing you in what they say or promote."

According to Nick, they try to be positive role models for those around them.

As busy as the boys are touring and behaving properly, they recently have added acting to their list of things to do. Their show 'J.O.N.A.S.,' Junior Operatives Networking As Spies, portrays them as secret agents who's cover is that they're in a band.

"Acting is something new for us," Joe said. "It's much easier than being on stage because if you mess up a line you can say cut and start over but if you're on stage and mess up a line you can't say cut and start over again. But we're having a lot of fun acting and are going start doing it more often."

The brothers will also debut in Disney Channel's 'Camp Rock,' which is set at music camp. Shane Gray, Joe Jonas, falls in love with a teen girl Mitchie, Demi Lovato, who has a beautiful singing voice. Joe's character tries to find the voice in the girl, who works in the kitchen at the camp.

"Good things and bad things happen, but in the end it all comes together," Joe said. "It's very good."

The Jonas Brothers, although both hard working and grateful, still have a light, fun side to them making them even more lovable than they already are.

"I think we would all love to have mustaches," Kevin said. "We've put on fake mustaches, all of us and our friends, and we're all wearing mustaches at the same time. Handlebars, curls, anything."

They're jokes and attitude make them personable, and it's obvious why so many people love them.

"We're just trying to live our life and not be anything that we're not," Nick said.

Words to live by.
