Warner Bros. Records is pleased to announce that it
has signed Jake and Jamin Orrall, aka JEFF The Brotherhood, to its roster. Seen by many
to be latter-day pioneers of the Nashville rock scene, the duo is known for its
rockin' live shows, prolific recorded output, relentless work and touring
schedule, as well as its family-owned, super cool, vinyl-centered record label, Infinity Cat Recordings,
which has been a pillar of support for Nashville bands since 2002 with over 70
releases to date. Infinity Cat Recordings was named "Nashville's Best
Record Label 2010" by theNashville Scene.
JEFF The Brotherhood's first release for Warner
Bros. Records is the upcomingHypnotic Knights EP, which will be
available digitally on May 22nd. All four songs are taken from the
band's upcoming album Hypnotic Nights, which was co-produced
by Dan Auerbach and JEFF The Brotherhood and recorded at Auerbach's Easy Eye
Sound Studio in Nashville. Hypnotic Nights will be
released by Warner Bros. Records on July 17th. The band will perform
on The Late Show with David Letterman that night. The show airs on CBS at
11:35/10:35 c.
JEFF The Brotherhood have built a reputation for
stripping rock music down to its melodic rock basics and delivering manic live
shows with Jamin's three drums and three cymbals and Jake's three-string guitar
and ferocious vocals. The band's work ethic defines D.I.Y., from
their simple but compelling videos to their self-produced and critically
acclaimed albums (including 2011's We Are The Champions),
EPs and singles. They have released five split singles with other artists,
including "Bummer" with Best Coast, with whom they are touring
beginning May 18th.
JEFF The Brotherhood has clocked in more than
230 shows in the past year and received critical acclaim for We Are
The Champions, which was recorded by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo,
Sleater Kinney, Velvet Underground). The self-produced album took the band's
sound, which has been described as psychedelic, classic rock, kraut-punk,
garage pop, monster metal, scrungy, filthy, fizzy and fresh, to new heights,
while continuing to dig into what Spin Magazine calls
"the sweet spot between punk and hard rock."
The track-listing for the Hypnotic Knights EP is
as follows:
"Sixpack"
"Mystic Portal II"
"Hypnotic Mind"
"Leave Me Out"
The Hypnotic Knights EP will also be
physically available on tour and will contain aHypnotic Nights album
pre-order download card, which will allow fans to download the album upon
release.
