PR reports: The Jonas Brothers will finally release their debut album It's About Time on August 8th, 2006, complete with new tracks not previously made available. "Music on Red Bull."

And it's no wonder since the boys' influences include an eclectic mix of artists ranging from the Ramones to the Jackson 5 to the Modern Lovers--all purveyors of tight, catchy anthems. After recently wrapping up a summer tour with Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys and the Click Five, the Jonas boys got hooked on the rush of bringing a crowd to its feet (and didn't mind signing autographs for the throngs of excited fans waiting for them after each show). One thing is for sure, the Jonas Brothers are all ready to keep the momentum going strong. "We go crazy on stage!," says Kevin. "It's so much fun!"
