Among Brothers are a Cardiff-based six-piece, who have been compared to bands like Efterklang, Grammatics and Anathallo. They fuse electronic rhythms, theatrical chants and percussive flourishes to create vibrant pop-influenced arrangements anchored by narrative themes.
Their debut EP, Homes, was released earlier this year on their own label, Barely Regal Records. Homes features the song ‘Sam, Isaiah and the Wolf’, which was chosen by Bethan Elfyn as one of her top tracks of 2010, alongside bands like Warpaint, Foals and Islet. They have also featured on The 405′s compilation: ‘Heroes Of January And February 2011′, which also featured Toro Y Moi, Vessels and Munch Munch.
Among Brothers were described as “one of the festival highlights” by SWN organiser John Rostron, after playing the Barely Regal stage at SWN Festival 2010 to a sold out venue. This year, the band have gone on to support prominent bands such as Jeniferever, Hjaltalin, and The Thermals. Shortly after returning from their Spring 2011 UK tour, Among Brothers will be playing the Introducing stage at the Radio 1 Big Weekend in Carlisle.
