Brother James’ release debut single ‘Singalong’

This is Brother James’ debutante ball. Their presentation to the world. They’ve been peeking around the curtain, getting up the courage to take the steps out onto stage. And now they are! Working completely backwards, they have recorded an album, then thought ‘Well, I guess we should show people this thing.’

Don’t be fooled Brother James are anything but shy. With members from The Vasco EraThe ExplodersRat & Co and Second Hand HeartBrother James will smash their beer glasses blending a vintage of noisy garage rock and impassioned purpose.

Singalong’ is the lead single of their debut album that is due for release early 2014. Launching into high-velocity garage rock crescendos, lead vocalist Ted O’Neil taunts with urgency above crashing cymbals and guitars. ‘Singalong’ heaves between the gentle and fierce as they trundle out to peddle their wares.

An explosive tune with well-placed melodies Brother James gives a healthy nod to the past while pitching a hearty dose of gritty blues-rock. Performing at the Kennedys Creek Music Festival on October 26th and 27th with artists including The Murlocs, Fraser A Gorman & Big Harvest and Kashmere ClubBrother James cordially invite you to their debutante ball. They want to get messy and they want you to singalong.
