JEFF the Brotherhood

If you stop and think about it, a rock guitarist doesn’t need more than three strings on his guitar, and a drummer doesn’t need more than three drums and three cymbals. Case in point: JEFF the Brotherhood, a band whose entire purpose is to strip down rock music to its absolute core and deliver something that falls gracefully between the garage and the studio. The ink isn’t even dry on the act’s new deal with Warner Bros., but if previous output is any indication, We Are the Champions, due in June, is going to involve the same kind of minimalist, punk-inspired rock and roll that has rightly landed these guys within reach of the national spotlight.
