'We walked the streets we grew up on, visited the exact places where we sat while dreaming up what this band could be and felt that deep pull of where it all began.' 'There's something about being home that reminds you who you are,' the trio continued. 'This album is filled with pieces of that, lifelong influences from our childhood and the sounds that we grew up on.' The Jonas Brothers first announced Greetings From Your Hometown at JONASCON in March. The LP will drop Aug. 8, two days after which the band will embark on a tour fittingly starting with one night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. 'I remember buying nosebleed seats when we had just enough in our allowance to go and watch a game,' Joe recently told Billboard of playing at the stadium in his home state. 'So to be Jersey guys who grew up 10, 15 minutes away from the stadium, MetLife … It's a dream come true — to celebrate with our fans as well. And then we're starting there, it's now tradition. We have to start with New York.' Greetings From Your Hometown comes more than two years after the brothers last released an LP, with The Album reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It will also arrive on the heels of Joe's new solo album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, which dropped May 23. See the Jo Bros' Greetings From Your Hometown cover art reveal below.

Joe Jonas Reflects on Infamous ‘South Park' Episode: ‘I Was the Only Brother That Loved It'
Joe Jonas has taken a look back at South Park's famous spotlight of the Jonas Brothers, admitting that he views it as a personal 'claim to fame.' Joe's comments appear in the new episode of Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals (via Entertainment Weekly), where he explained to host Josh Scherer that his opinions were not shared by his brothers at the time. More from Billboard Kneecap Announce Massive Wembley Arena Headline Show Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K.' Tour Dates Marcie Jones, Lead Singer of Marcie & The Cookies, Dies at 79 'I think I was the only brother that loved it,' Joe explained. 'Our skin was not as thick back then, and I thought it was hilarious, because I watched South Park, and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!' 'To be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s–t, and they care, and it's funny,' he added. 'They really went for us.' Joe, along with brothers Kevin and Nick, were spotlighted as part of The Ring, the premiere episode of South Park's 13th season in March 2009. The episode, which was inspired by the release of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience just weeks earlier, sees the fictionalized trio convincing their fans to wear purity rings at the behest of Disney mascot Mickey Mouse. However, Jonas agreed that he was able to see the humor in the South Park parody, noting that the band weren't the specific focus, but rather it was 'Boss Mickey' that was in the sights of the creators. 'I mean, what an honor to get my ass kicked by Mickey,' Jonas added. 'I think it's one of my favorite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The recent comments from Joe align with Nick's own from 2016, in which he addressed the episode in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest, but probably because I was actually living all of that in real time and so it just made it harder to come and live your life as a young person and have all that going on,' he explained. 'But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me and I've actually watched the episode a few times.' Joe himself reflected on the episode just months later in his own AMA session, stating he was 'so pumped' when it first aired, but conceded that 'Nick was really kind of not into watching it.' 'I thought it was the funniest thing at the time and it's kind of a compliment because obviously if you go to a comedy show and they pick you out and make fun of you, you can't heckle back, you gotta just take it and enjoy it,' he explained. 'And for me I've always been a fan and I knew that was kind of a wow we made it moment, and also they were kind of attacking Disney more than me, so I didn't really feel threatened. 'Now I watch it back and laugh and Mickey kicked my ass so I won the episode by being beat up by Mickey Mouse.' Joe's comments also come just days after the release of his second studio album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, which will be followed in August by the Jonas Brothers' seventh album, Greetings from Your Hometown.

Joe Jonas reveals what he REALLY thought about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him
Joe Jonas is opening up about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him and the rest of the Jonas Brothers back in 2009. The 35-year-old singer was and his brothers were skewered for their 'purity rings' in the Season 13 premiere of South Park dubbed The Ring. The episode follows Kenny, who, along with his girlfriend, are encouraged by the Jonas Brothers to wear purity rings and abstain from sexual activity. The rest of the main characters - Stan, Kyle and Cartman - decide to confront the JoBros, when they're taken prisoner by Mickey Mouse himself, as they realize the purity rings were just a ploy to sell sex to young girls while feigning a moral high ground. The episode also features a memorable scene where Mickey Mouse savagely beats up the animated Joe Jonas - who recently opened up about co-parenting with Sophie Turner - after the brothers tried taking a stand against their 'boss.' Joe was a guest on the Last Meals podcast, where he was asked about the episode, 16 years later, admitting that he was the only brother who enjoyed the parody. When asked how big of an 'impact' the episode had on the group, Joe admitted, 'I think I was the only brother that loved it.' 'We didn't have as tough a skin back then, and I thought it was hilarious because I watch South Park. This is so funny. I know what they're doing. They make fun of everyone,' Joe added. He added, 'to be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s**t and they care and it's funny and you've got to be able to take a punch.' 'They really went for us. I think they were going more so on the idea of what it is,' Joe said, adding, 'What an honor to get my a** kicked by Mickey.' Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The Jonas Brothers' father, Kevin Jonas Sr., a pastor who shepherded their careers early on, was not as happy with the episode, according to the 2024 book Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire by Ashley Spencer. 'When the South Park episode came out, their father was super offended,' said Jonas Brothers tour photographer Elise Abdalla in the book. The episode also featured a rather sexual portrayal of the JoBros' concert film's water and foam gun scenes. Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me' Abdalla added, 'But I was like, don't you think the foam thing look a little weird?' Disney Channel president Anne Sweeney had a much different take, revealing in the book, 'We were absolutely thrilled because it meant that the rest of entertainment actually noticed us. I thought it was funny.' Nick Jonas said in a 2016 Reddit AMA that he was not a fan of the episode, but now he thinks it's hilarious. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest. But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me,' he said.
