The group appeared on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, and said in an interview that they would make music forever.

The single "A little longer" in their new album has been a great success. They are also touring the country now.
Regarding success, the Jonathan brothers once said: "Success is certainly a good feeling. But I will still remember that when we released our last album, we tried to have only ten people come to see our performance. So now we know the pleasant feeling of writing music for fun. " Nick, who is only 15 years old, even said, "I often fantasize that I can make records under other names. Or help other artists write songs with different names, which is a very fun thing. "
The Jonathan Brothers will be the guest performers at the MTV Music Video Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles on September 7th.
