From Correspondent Mark Scheerer
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Hanson fans are hungry for more, so the boys are reaching into their past to satisfy them.
The mop-topped teen trio -- Zach, Isaac and Taylor -- has released a new album under the Mercury label. Comprised of old recordings from two years ago, it's titled "3 Car Garage: The Independent Recordings."
"It's totally just raw," Taylor Hanson said during a recent Hanson appearance on MTV's "Live at the Ten Spot."

Hanson rehearses: |
The album release and the MTV performance preview a tour this summer. Hanson-mania, which began when the group sold 12 million copies of its debut album "MMMBop," is just getting warmed up.
"We're planning on putting out possibly a live album and maybe a live video, so people can get that," Taylor Hanson said. "You know, they can get the live music, and a lot of songs that people have never heard before, maybe a few of those, so we'll see."
Despite gaining celebrity status, along with some hard knocks from critics of the candy-apple pop group, the band's members say they try to live normal, teen-age lives.
"We, you know, play sports -- basketball, soccer, different things like that," Isaac Hanson, 17, said. "Of course, we're not great at it, but, you know."
"We like paintball, and we like motorcycles, dirt bikes, fun things," 12-year-old Zach said.
And they like making music. Fans and critics alike are waiting to see whether "3 Car Garage" lives up to expectations Hanson set with "MMMBop."
