Brothers In Law - Foggyview (english)

Version française ici

The emersion in Italy of small labels and very interesting new bands put our neighbors as an important place for the European rock and roll scene. We could already discover this thanks to releases from Shit Music For Shit People or Hell Yes, between others, but for now, our next stop will be around Pesaro to talk about Brothers In Law. 

This promising trio is formed by Nicola, Giacomo and Andrea. 
Here is how they presented themselves: “Nicola and Giacomo are real brothers in law because their girlfriends are sister. So the name of the band was taken thankfully to this relationship. Only Giacomo in the band is working as an employee, Nicola is playing also in another very great band called Be Forest. Andrea sometimes is Djing in some club.” 

We discovered them thanks to their Gray Days 7’’ released last February (on labels We were never being boring / Cf-Records / Matta Lab) where you can find 3 deeply moving songs: Holy Weekend, Sharp Leaves and Ode to Love. These are also furiously addictive, as the trio is striking their pure melodies and shoegazing atmosphere with a total mastery. They previously released an EP in 2011 via Tannen Records and they’re recording their first album during the summer. We’re looking forward to it…

Brothers In Law - Foggyview

English version here

L’émergence en Italie de petits labels et groupes très intéressants place décidément nos voisins latins en lieu incontournable du rock and roll européen. On a déjà pu l’entendre avec les sorties de Shit Music For Shit People ou Hell Yes (entre autres) mais cette fois-ci, on va s’arrêter du côté de Pesaro pour parler du groupe Brothers in Law. 

Nicola, Giacomo et Andrea forment ce trio très prometteur. Pour la petite histoire, les 2 premiers sont beaux-frères dans la vraie vie, d’où le nom, leurs copines étant sœurs. A part ça, seul Giacomo travaille comme employé, Nicola joue également dans le groupe Be Forest et Andrea fait parfois le DJ dans des clubs. 

On les a découvert via leur Gray Days 7’’ sorti en février dernier ( We were never being boring / Cf-Records / Matta Lab) dans lequel on a trouvé trois chansons bouleversantes : Holy Weekend, Sharp Leaves et Ode to Love. Elles sont également furieusement addictives, le trio y assénant ses mélodies pures et ambiances shoegazeuses avec une maîtrise totale. Ils avaient déjà sorti un EP en 2011 sur le label Tannen Records et ils enregistrent cet été leur premier album dont on va attendre la sortie avec beaucoup d’impatience.
