Brothers

Real Long Way To Go

Sounds like: The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes
The first thing that's awesome about Brothers is immediately evident when you see them live -- they wear matching leather jackets with a growling tiger emblazoned across the back, reading "BROTHERS NEW YORK CITY." Appearances aren't everything, but this band lives up to their badass first impression the moment they start singing.  A brand of stomp-heavy, scuzzy, rough and tumble southern rock that there should always be more of, Brothers have no holds barred as they clap and growl their way through their first single, "Real Long Way To Go." The vocals are none too polished, but isn't that kind of the point? This is seriously loud, whiskey-soaked, blues-laden rock 'n' roll, and I couldn't be happier about it. At any rate, I'm looking forward to see what else this band of brothers* will get up to.*Two of the six band members actually are brothers -- twins, from Oklahoma, no less!
