Brothers – ‘Super Slinky’

Brothers (Cardiff Band)

It’s not too long ago since we first dropped in on Brothers and bestowed some lavish praise on the Cardiff foursome.

Their psychedelic tinged rock ‘n roll jams were certainly a cause for excitement and worthy of praise. News has emerged that Brothers will release their debut EP in December. Good news obviously, as is the recent release of new track ‘Super Slinky’, a bridging point between their initial demos and the forthcoming EP. ‘Super Slinky’ continues to evoke ’60s rock ‘n roll and psychedelia, fusing with their own personality and style, everything the do seems to have a marvelous gloss of slight fuzz. This one just oozes ‘coolness’ as it swaggers (or slinks even) along an irresistible funky bassline, drawing you into yet another punchy, rhythmic and energetic rock ‘n roll adventure. Not to mention vocalist Joel Hurst sounds in stunning form too. 

December’s not too far away now and ‘Super Slinky’ should keep us going till the EP arrives. You can check it out below & some of the previous tunes here. 

If you’re in the Cardiff area, you can catch Brothers In Dempsey’s (Oct 4) or at Swn Festival (October 17 – 20).

Introducing: Brothers

Brothers are four piece band from Wales, consisting of two sets of brothers, hence the name. They only got the band together back in January, forged through their love of 60s rock and roll, psychedelia, harmonies and melodies, and they seem to be causing a bit of fuss in their hometown of Cardiff.

Whatever the level of fuss is, it isn’t without merit. Their psychedelic tinged rock ‘n roll jams are a field day of sounds, crammed with esoteric treasures. This post has actually been in the works for months, since first hearing ‘Tiger’, a 1.47 minute barrage of punchy, rhythmic and energetic rock ‘n roll. As a solitary track, clocking in at under two minutes wasn’t really enough to go on however, so this post was held off with the promise of further tracks. It was a promise with which Brothers duly delivered, and oh my, how they delivered – with the rich, beautifully warm and blissfully romantic ‘Stepping Stone’ and rock ‘n roll freak out, ‘My Attention’. Brothers have brought all their influences to bare, a la The Beatles, Django Django, Tame Impala & Simon and Garfunkel, among others. This fused with their own personality, they have created a rather unique sound that’s wonderfully raw and lo-fi, and everything seems to have a gloss of slight fuzz.

With the band all in their teens (the drummer is only 14!) the future appears to be bright for Brothers. Check out the tunes below and cop a load of what they’re all about.
