User:Will Brotherhood/sandbox

UK Midlands based 3 piece Heavy Rock/Metal band playing own material - sound is a mix of their main musical influences the likes of Motley Crue, W.A.S.P, Murder Dolls & Rob Zombie.

Background: In mid 2012 the band was started when ‘Bret Patrucci’ bumped into a bass player who had played for a short time in ‘St Jaimz’ along with ‘Bret’ and ‘Steevi Jaimz’ (from Tigertailz), this resulted in the pair getting together to jam though some riffs ‘Bret’ had been writing. They soon realized there was some great tunes but something was missing, the songs couldn’t be properly arranged without taking it to the next level and getting a drummer involved, another chance meeting, this time on facebook found drummer ‘Will Brotherhood’ who had played years earlier in band ‘Nasty Catz’ alongside afore mentioned bassist and the band was formed! After several months of writing the band started to gig and record the band’s debut EP at this point the bass player left and new bassist ‘Stevie Russell’ stepped in. The EP titled Flesh and Blood was finished and the process of rehearsing and gigging began again.
