Brotherhood

If you're in the music scene, like i sort of am, you tend to meet a lot of drunks. Drunk guys or drunk girls that are so into you for that moment, then NEXT!

This is the beginning of me hearing about "Brotherhood". Some drunk got my number and shot me a text and after my brutal rejection proceeded to text me saying that if I wanted to support the local music scene to go see his band sometime. and I'm thinking, Do you know who I am? Of course I support local music, just not you're music. I actually said I only listen to good bands. But I've been especially bold and rude lately, so the statement is typical and witty of something I would say.

So I went to their profile and saw they are metal and trash, i mean thrash.If you can't tell, I'm not impressed. Their myspace is all black and red, oh how hardcore. I honestly do not hear anything remotely original with this band. With lyrics like "Calling out you’re lost till stars bleed the sky until I take the blame", Here's what I don't like about them aside from their juvenile over used cliche lyrics, typical metal sound and black and red myspace, I feel like this music doesn't strive here anymore. When I first starting going to shows I lived in a town where everyone started a hardcore metal band and it was all I listened to. So I've heard my fair share of local metal and this sounds like local metal with a singer and screamer. A static Lullaby anyone? or maybe like Finch just not as appealing.
[note] Please don't take this as me being overly bias because of my interaction with one of the members of this band. I considered not writing this review at all because I have a slight bias against this genre of music as a whole. I think if this band had more to offer, something unique for the SA scene and not just trying to sound like every other metal band that already exists perhaps I would be less harsh.
