Guitar and vocals plus drums. Oh, no: gimme a moment, let me listen to it … Can you hear that? It’s me, exhaling, in relief and gratitude, that Nashville’s Jeff The Brotherhood are not taking their inspiration from certain other bass-free blues-rock duos we know and have loved. Jake and Jamin Orrall channel surf, psych, power pop and the hopped-up ramalama of Motorhead and the Ramones and, thankfully, it comes out sounding pumped and fizzy and fresh.
