The first question you have to ask yourself about A Kid Named Thompson is obvious: Which one is Thompson? Answer: None of the above. "It sounded like a cool name a long time ago when we were real young," explains Jon Harter, 20-year-old drummer for AKNT, which hails from Texas. "It kinda stuck." And stuck is exactly the description you might use to describe how your brain reacts to AKNT's music when you hear it.

Besides Jon, AKNT is made up of 18-year-old Marc Molina, who plays guitar and contributes vocals, and Josh Harter, 18, who lends vocals and plays bass. FYI, Josh and Jon are brothers. They have a CD titled "I Want To Wake Up" that came out in April of 2007. You can hear their sound at myspace.com/akidnamedthompson.

As you can imagine, the band has big dreams for their musical careers. They'll know they made it when they headline a major tour, release a CD on a major label, produce music videos that are requested on "TRL," and play venues filled with fans who sing along so loud that they drown out the band. Oh, and they wouldn't mind appearing on the cover of "Rolling Stone" someday.

"One of the bigger parts of being in a band other than the music is just being best friends with the guys in your band. If you can't get along with the guys in your band, you're not going to go anywhere."

Josh, Jon and Marc are A Kid Named Thompson.
