New Zealand has been legendary for having sibling-based bands, with the likes of prolific musicians The Finn Brothers way back and more recently The Nielson Brothers.
And as 2016 comes to a close, it seems like a new set of brothers is taking New Zealand’s Indie-Pop scene by storm: The Thomas Brothers.
Four siblings make up The Thomas Brothers, and after 4 years of incredibly hard work, they’ve released their self-titled album for us all to enjoy.
The album contains 12 tracks, all heavily laced with lyrics about love and lost, creating a sad atmosphere that ties in perfectly with their epic-sounding melodies and powerful vocals.
The album starts off with a song that verges onto heavy rock, You’ll Be My Lover, and from there the album transitions sharply into slower songs with rich piano riffs and heart wrenching lyrics.
Every song on the album contains piano riffs that tie in with the various sounds of echoey guitar solos and heavy bass drum, that invokes a feeling of both sadness and beauty.
And tying all the sounds together are the sweet vocals of Samuel Thomas which magnify and carry the entire album into a whole new sphere of music.
Similar to the likes of Coldplay and Muse, their 4 years of working on this album has definitely paid off, and The Thomas Brothers are taking Indie-Pop into a whole realm of music – One that will lead other artists by the hand, and one that will ensure an astounding music career for this band of brothers.
