Sometimes big is actually better... and when you hear the music Brigade create you'll understand why. Brigade writes huge, beautiful songs. They create muscular, passionate tunes that blow up into enormous soundscape epics, while always retaining the all-important ingredient - the song. Powerful, sometimes earth shattering, sometimes timid, Brigade's sound is unique and compelling.
It's not emo, it's not indie, it's not pop. Brigade cannot be limited to genre pigeonholes. Their tunes live outside such limitations, as anyone who has heard them will testify. Will Simpson's vocals flit between being angelic and harmonious one minute, to filling the stadiums with his enormous powerful roar the next. Lyrically the themes are mostly about human relationships, mistakes & regrets and dealing with cynicism.
Showcasing their florid and barbed artrock stylings, their debut album 'Lights' is sure to define the band as something far outside the tired and pedestrian outpourings of many of their contempories. Filled with a deliciously expansive sound, it straddles the genres of rock, indie, pop and dark atmos-rock! For such a young band they certainly have no shortage of creative ideas.
