We covered extensively the NYC folk and soul revivals in the past year or so, while – more recently – we couldn’t help but notice the massive resurgence of 90s inspired guitar rock… Will the 2010’s be remembered as the musical decade of revivals? If that’s the case, maybe bands like The Bothers, who’ve been playing their garage influenced rockabilly since 2011, may be seen as some kind of pioneers… In the vein of J. Roddy Walston and The Business, these lads play tunes that sound like if Nirvana was into Jerry Lee Lewis and Stray Cats – the Nirvana influence being mostly due to lead vocalist Sean McNally’s grungy tenor. The band played a super fun psychobilly New Year’s Eve party at Arlene’s Grocery with The Spastiks and Raw Dogs, check them out live when you can. – Paul Jordan Talbot
