Brant Bjork - desert boogieman - decided to find a band to back his trip. The Bros is what they’re called... The Bros are what they are. (And that is Bros as in “rhymes with Afros, just so we get the pronunciation correct). Musically speaking The Bros bring it. Organic
Rock. It grooves. It Flows. It’s psychedelic. It’s tough. It’s
beautiful. It’s classic.
Brant Bjork hails from Palm Desert, California where he began gigging at the age of 13. By high school Brant had begun Kyuss with locals Josh Homme, Chris Cockrell, (later Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia. Kyuss became the first desert rock band to achieve international success by spearheading a musical movement that brought heavy and psychedelic sounds back to rock and roll and served as a prototype for all “desert/stoner rock”.
In 1996, Bjork hooked up again with Homme, to begin the DESERT SESSIONS saga and work on what became Queens Of The Stone Age.
However, Brant decided to take the road less traveled and rock with his surf buddies Fu Manchu, an adventure which took him into the studio for five records and around the world in four years.
Now we have the latest instalment (album number 5 under his own name) ‘Save By Magic’, his first release with his Brothers of Rock. It is a musical celebration of the roads and rituals to inner and outer freedom. A 19 track, 2CD monster, featuring songs like the fab ‘Make the Pony Trot’, ‘73’, ‘Kiss Away’, and ‘Let the Truth Be Known’. Along with a couple of guest guitars from desert legend, Mario Lalli, a dusty version of Cream’s ‘Sunshine Of Your Love’, and insane custom cover art, BB and the Bros boldly go where few bands go....
They’ve been saved by magic. Have you? As Melbourne street press BEAT put it, “The closest thing we’ll get to seeing the Hendrix Experience.” Dig it
