Underwear Brothers

About Me

Partageant le même amour pour le folk et la pop anglaise de que la country et l'indie américain, ces quatre rennais multi-instrumentistes proposent une musique singulière et hétéroclite placée sous l'égide de l'énergie acoustique. Leur enthousiasme communicatif, augmenté par la présence tonique d'une chorale exclusivement féminine, ne devrait laisser personne insensible au charme désuet de cette tribu folk. Avec leurs guitares en bois, leurs instruments à vent, leurs claviers bizarres, leurs voix baladeuses et leur batterie minimaliste, les Underwear Brothers sont l'alternative à la médiocrité ambiante!!!--------------------------Sharing the same love for English pop & folk music but also American country music & indie rock, those four French lads from Brittany play in an ill-assorted style marked by acoustic energy. With their infectious enthusiasm completed by the stimulating presence of an exclusively female choir, it is quite impossible to be unmoved by the quaint charm of this folk tribe... With wooden guitars, weird keyboards, swinging vocals and a steady beat on the drums, the underwear bros are definitely the alternative to tediousness in those sad administrative cities of yours.---

After sporadic recording sessions througout the summer, we eventually finished our second record. It's called "the fall & decline of the underwear brothers", still with pretty much the same crew, but ...
