Jake and Jamin Orrall, aka JEFF The Brotherhood, are seen by many to be latter-day pioneers of
the Nashville rock scene, but they see themselves as brothers who can't remember not playing music
together for fun. Their family-owned, vinyl-centered record label, Infinity Cat Recordings, has been a pillar
of support for Nashville bands since 2002 (with 60 releases to date) and was named "Nashville's Best
Record Label 2010" by the Nashville Scene. But their first love has always been the Brotherhood known as
JEFF.
Known for their relentless touring and their "we'll play anywhere" mentality, they have built a reputation
for stripping rock music down to it's basics, and delivering mind-bending live shows with Jamin's three
drums and three cymbals and Jake's three-string guitar and ferocious vocals. JEFF The Brotherhood's
work ethic practically defines D.I.Y., from their simple but compelling videos to their self-produced and
critically acclaimed albums, EP's and singles.
The band clocked in over 230 shows in the past year and received critical acclaim for their Heavy Days
album from the likes of Brooklyn Vegan, Spin, Nylon, Village Voice, the New Yorker, KEXP, Maximum Rock
n' Roll, and MANY more. Now, JEFF is ready for 2011 (or as Nashville's Dead calls it "the year of the
Brotherhood") with their finest album to date, We Are The Champions.
Recorded by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Velvet Underground ), the self-produced
album takes their music to new heights, while continuing to dig into what Spin calls "the sweet spot
between punk and hard rock." Their ultimately undefinable music has been described as psychedelic,
classic rock, kraut-punk, garage pop, monster metal, scrungy, filthy, fizzy and fresh.
