The Jonas Brothers previewed new songs from their upcoming release, The Album, during Saturday Night Live on April 8.

The trio opened with their catchy new single “Waffle House” and followed with the debut live performance of “Walls,” featuring Jon Bellion. Both performances were backed by a choir and featured Joe Jonas center stage, flanked by his brothers Nick and Kevin.

“What an unforgettable night being back on the @nbcsnl stage for a third time together,” the Jonas Brothers wrote on Instagram Sunday (April 9). “Thank you to SNL for having us and to the incredible @theofficialsuperstar. Shout out to our amazing band and @jonbellion @kirkfranklin for joining us last night on Walls and Waffle House. We are so grateful for all the love and support.”

“Waffle House” is the second single off the Jonas Brothers’ forthcoming ’70s-inspired studio set, The Album. It follows the soaring lead single “Wings.” The project is scheduled for release on May 12 through Republic Records.

“‘Waffle House’ was born from a simple but powerful idea: When you sit down with the people that matter most, anything is possible. This song isn’t about a restaurant, it’s about coming together with the people you love and making your dreams come true,” the siblings said in a statement about the track.

Molly Shannon, who reprised her character Sally O’Malley for a sketch featuring the JoBros, served as host during the April 8 episode of SNL.

Earlier in the week, the Jonas Brothers announced that they’re headed to Yankee Stadium in New York for a special, one-night-only concert on Aug. 12. The three-piece will perform their five albums during the show, including their upcoming sixth studio set.
