The Brother Kite


Isn't it nice when you come across a band that not only produces great music, but also has a lead singer that can really sing. The Brother Kite matches that description. Patrick Boutwell provides the lead vocals for the group and they really are key in the sound that The Brother Kite is all about. With the reverb always slightly on it sounds like Patrick is singing in a wide open field (or into a tin can), but the purity in his tone complements the retro pop-rock feel that we have here. Sometimes alternative and rock needs to be about more than thrashing guitars so kudos need to be sent out to the remainder of the band for providing Patrick the backing he needs for his instrument.

WRAP IT UP:
Hot Track(s): I'm Not The Only One, Waiting For The Time To Be Right
Kind of Like: ELO, The Beach Boys and the Cure thawed, after being cryogenically frozen in a single test tube, have started to work with Foo Fighters.

PREDICTION:
A top 20 hit with a catchy uptempo track off their next album.
