The Brothers Movement

This is the fantastic self titled debut album from Dublin's The Brothers Movement. They formed in 2007 and in a short span of time have shared billing with established rock acts like The Jesus Mary Chain, MC5, Chemical Brothers and Sonic Youth.

Previously known as Mainline, The Brothers Movement is comprised of Neil Paxton (guitars/vox), Conor Paxton(bass), Danda (guitars/keyboards/vox), Scott Glennon (guitar), Andy Parkes (drums).

Touted as the "Hard Working Class Heroes of 2008" by Entertainment.ie, The Brothers Movement cite influences ranging from The Beatles to My Bloody Valentine, and their sound recalls early Dandy Warhols and A Place To Bury Strangers. References to The Verve also abound due to the bands powerfull, emotive, woozy indie -rock.

In early 2008 the band spent time recording their debut album in a Philadelphia studio with the Cobbs (BRMC, Peasent, War on Drugs).

The Brothers Movement also showcased their talents at IMRO New Sounds Stage at Oxegen, Ireland's largest music festival, as well as the Popkomm Festival in Berlin. Following their opening slot on the European leg of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's 2008 tour, the band released their first EP Blind in November 2008.

Spring 2009 proved to be an eventful month for The Brothers Movement as they collected accolades left and right. Their March 2009 set at South by Southwest garnered additional industry buzz.

The Brothers Movement followed their stint at SXSW with two April performances with Doves in Belfast and Dublin. In June 2009, their epic single Sister was featured on the Future Sounds 33 compilation.
