Summer of Jonas Bros. Looms

Posted Jun 17, 08 10:30 AM CDT in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Brace yourselves: Disney is prepping a summer media blitz for the squeaky-clean, tween-rockin' Jonas Brothers that'll put Hannah Montana to shame. The former Christian rock band made up of three real-life siblings is starring in two movies, releasing an album, and touring Europe and the US—before getting their own spy-themed comedy-adventure show titled “J.O.N.A.S.”

“We wake up and pinch ourselves most days,” says Kevin Jonas, the oldest, of the group's hectic schedule. The brothers—aged 20, 18, and 15 respectively—wear “purity rings” declaring their plans to remain sexually inactive until marriage. “Their brand fits wonderfully with the Disney brand,” said one Disney exec.
