Bros (Canadian band)


Bros is a rock duo from Toronto, Ontario, featuring brothers Ewan and Shamus Currie of The Sheepdogs. Bros was formed in 2014 and released their debut album in 2016, entitled Vol. 1. They have been praised for a "funky, sultry sound" that represents a departure from the southern-rock and classic-rock orientation of The Sheepdogs.

Career

Ewan Currie has been the front man and primary songwriter for the Canadian rock band The Sheepdogs since their inception, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 2004. His brother Shamus joined the band as a touring member in 2012, and became a full member of the band as they were recording their fifth album, Future Nostalgia, in 2014.
Following that session, in the winter of 2014, the two brothers moved from Saskatoon to Toronto. They began to write songs together for the first time, with the intention of branching out into a variety of musical styles based on their personal interests, ranging from old-school funk and power pop to the psychedelic Latin sounds of Os Mutantes.
The pair recorded the album that became Vol.1 with Thomas D'Arcy co-producing, along with the two Curries, at his Taurus Recording studio. The album has accumulated more than one million streams.
One critic identified Bros as having "a much funkier, less guitar-oriented sound than the Sheepdogs." He notes too that Sheepdogs fans might be surprised to learn that Ewan Currie likes "Elton John, Burt Bacharach, and Henry Mancini."
The band's debut single "Tell Me" became the theme song for the CBC Radio program Q with Tom Power when Power began hosting in August 2016.
A year after the debut, Bros released a two-sided single for the holidays, entitled A Very Bros. Christmas, Vol. 1, featuring two original songs.
