Pop Quiz: The Naked Brothers Band


Aidin Vaziri | The Naked Brothers Band is just like the Monkees, except its members actually write their own songs, there are only two of them and real-life brothers Nat and Alex Wolff are 13 and 10, respectively.

The musical siblings do have a hit tween television show on Nickelodeon, and they are about to release their second album in less than a year, "I Don't Want to Go to School." It includes originals such as "I'll Do Anything" and "Three Is Enough."
