After a storming first 12 months, Brother & Bones close 2011 regarded as one of the most exciting live bands in the UK.  Hold Me Like The Sun and B–Side Show Me Love is produced and mixed by Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers/Travis/Everything But The Girl )  As the first full release the tracks  are a true celebration of the bands standalone sound.

 

Brother & Bones have been described as ‘Powerful, uplifting and impeccably performed’.  The live show is a powerhouse of performance with a rarely seen weight coming from a band fronted with an acoustic guitar. The 5 piece set-up also features 2 drummers, giving the ability to deliver a ferocious dynamic at times, as well as providing the subtleties that make for a truly world class performance.

 

Brother & Bones are the nucleus of a body of musicians, artists, photographers and filmmakers hailing predominantly from the South West around St. Ives, Cornwall.

 

Combined video views already number 40,000 and rising on word of mouth alone.

 

Recent winners of the South West Live music awards, the band have played over 80 shows to date in 2011 including, The Great Escape, The Eden sessions, Hop Farm, Beach break Live, Relentless Boardmasters, Leollapalooza and supports include Tribes, Paulo Nutini and are touring throughout the autumn with Ben Howard.

 

“….Absolutely astounding…. genuinely so unique and so special that comparing them to other bands is a fairly redundant exercise…”  Ltd State

 

“…Devastatingly pure….Arena sized soul…” Ilike Music

“…. some say the sound between Mumford and Sons and The Dead Weather…….

I think these boys could be better and bigger than both…” There goes the Fear
