7 things you should know about the band that sings ‘Rude’

Finally MAGIC! fans will get what they've been waiting for when the band drops its debut album, "Don't Kill The Magic," on Tuesday.

Wait, what's MAGIC! again?

The reggae band has broken out in a huge way this summer, with debut single "Rude" currently holding at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. But despite that chorus of "Why you gotta be so rude?" forever permeating our brains, most of us don't know too much about the fellows just yet.

Let's change that.

First thing's first, they're a band of four

They're from Canada, eh!

But it's unclear whether they're friends with Justin Bieber and Celine Dion.

There's not a whole lot to the name

"We began recording, and the sound was so locked in on every song," Nasri has said. "That's even where we derived the band name. Everything simply worked like MAGIC!" Cool story, bro.

Atweh has written songs for loads of people

As one half of the duo the Messengers, he's penned songs for Justin Bieber (so they do know each other!), Shakira, Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera and Pitbull.

They're not just reggae, apparently

"We have a piece of it everywhere," Atweh told USA Today. "I don't see us staying in reggae forever. I see us evolving musically, because we didn't come from reggae. We're just going to make the music that comes out of us. MAGIC! has no boundaries."

They don't want "Rude" to be the song of the summer

"I'm tired of 'song of the summer.' How about 'song of the year?' " Atweh has said. "How about a real goal?"

They sound good stripped down, too

Here they are playing at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, six months ago, when no one in America knew who they were. Aww!
