Jeff The Brotherhood is
Jake Orrall and
Jamin Orrall , two brothers that play drums and guitar. They grew up in Tennessee making music and trying to have a good time. Since their inception they have been playing anywhere from house parties to rooftops, backyards, bars and art galleries and releasing their own records, tapes, comic books and home made videos.
The Brotherhood has been called
kraut punk,
psychedelic grunge and
noise pop drawing comparisons to bands like
Hawkwind,
Wipers, and early
Sonic Youth.
They have been carrying their heavy damage all over the country since 2006 and have shared bills with
Oneida,
Battles,
Sonic Youth,
Ex-Models,
Jay Reatard,
Black Pus and
Dave Cloud. Their "we'll play anywhere" attitude and frenetic live shows have earned them near legendary status in the clubs and basements of Nashville and beyond. With three guitar strings and a minimal drum kit, they manage to distill
rock to its primal essence.
They just released two split seven inches, one with
Sisters from Brooklyn and the other with
Screaming Females from New Jersey. Their new full length
Heavy Days will drop in October on their family run record label Infinity
Cat Recordings.
