Just as rumors about an October garage festival here in Portland, featuring just about every band I love, have kicked me off on a serious fuzzbox bender, along come Jeff The Brotherhood, pumping out catchy lo-fi rock n' roll. Like the Japandroids, this two man band includes plenty of psychedelic-tinged and fuzzed-out jamming, "Heavy Krishna" being a stellar example. The real standouts, however, are the title track, with its clipped punk vocals and sweet classic rock riffs, and "Bone Jam" with it's bashing drums and surf oooh-uh-oooh's. Overall, the songs are simple, the lyrics indiscernible, and the guitar distorted and awesome.Check out the video – they spent a ton on special affects. I like to think that the third man is playing the leaf blower.

Unfortunately, I will be out of town when they tour through Portland.
they are amazing live. this record doesn't come out til October but they're already selling the vinyl at shows.
And paired with Ted Leo or Ty Segall on their West Coast dates practically guarantee it will be a great night.
