About Me

Br'er started off primarily as a means for me (Ben) to get out a few songs which were really to me, very important. I'd been toying with the idea of this band for about two years, starting it up getting really excited, adding members and just kinda giving up because of other bands i was in. About a year ago christian, who i've known casually for a little while called me up to ask if i could lend him some equipment during a period which i pretty much gave up on music all together, and we discussed the idea of starting to play music together. I told him about the idea of br'er and how i had about an albums work of stuff and it finally took off and worked. After playing a bunch of me and christian's recordings for friends, our friends Luis, Kevin and Ross liked what we were doing and started to help out. We're in the process of recording our first album called "Of Shemales And Kissaboos" for the good people of beat is murder in vienna. We're also doing a few comps with new songs for each and will probablly be doing some 7inchs and eps coming up, so get jazzed!
