Untitled

The Naked Brothers Band is the first studio album from The Naked Brothers Band & soundtrack to the 1st season of the show The Naked Brothers Band on Nickelodeon. The album was also released as a deluxe fanpack that includes a poster, lyrics & 2 bonus tracks.

Background

Development

Nickelodeon saw The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, in early 2006. They picked the show up in the Summer of 2006. Polly Draper asked her boys to record all the music for the series as an album.

Writing

After being asked to record an album, the brothers began writing several songs for the show. The songs had a pop style, directed more for younger viewers. Alex was only able to write two songs for the series, due to being 8 at the time.

Recording

In Summer 2006, the band finally arrived in the studio, and began recording the music for the series. They recorded the show's theme If That's Not Love, although they weren't happy with the version (this version was used as the theme for Season 1), so in May 2007 they returned to the studio and recorded a completely different version to the song which sounds more mature the the other music from the album.

The band released the album on October 7, 2007. The album has sold over 600,000 units to date.
