The first leak off JEFF the Brotherhood's upcoming We Are The Champions LP doesn't spike the soup with any unknowns — no additives to this pop: it's pure and simple, it's the tamer compliment to the raucous form these songs take on live, when they're about nine million degrees more tempestuous and raw.
Between the title “Diamond Way” and the album title's Queen reference, you'd think the 70s power rock scent should be hot on the trail of these guitar licks, but they really owe more to 90s indie rock than anything else.
JEFF the Brotherhood, “Diamond Way”
We Are The Champions will see a wider release in the summer, but prior to that, the brother duo is releasing it on 500 clear vinyl as a special limited tour edition. Catch them at our joint party with Thrasher and Converse.
