Cityfest Presents: Brothers of North
James Connolly (vocals & guitar) and Joe Gallo (lead guitar) grew up together in Aurora Ontario and met Tom Mackay (drums) and Petey Barnes (bass) through mutual friends while in high school about 6 years ago.
After playing through a song James and Joe had written, all four saw there was definitely something to pursue. After getting a show within a month through a friend, they put their noses to the grindstone and created and practiced 10 songs. Four days a week of writing and practicing was a blast and was just what they needed to kick start their great work ethic as a band. Now all four have been playing shows all over the place from venues like El Mocambo, Horseshoe etc. There first album (EP) "Stolen Cars" is only weeks away from being released to the public and they are all eager to get out there and show people how hard they can rock out.
"Youthful, energetic, make you want to dance sound. A little bit of romance mixed in with some rockin' solos. Driving bass and drums keep the feet moving."
