August 17	Hanson debuted their video for "Underneath" exclusively at hanson.net for fan club members. "The inspiration largely came from our Australian director Josh Lobe. He presented the concept of vines continuing to grow as the video and music progressed. The final version of the video evolved dramatically from where it started. For us, the idea is that music is something that can grow and change, and constantly growing. And also the idea of being "Underneath" and strangled by something is another concept that's present in the video." - source
