The Brutes

Artist- The Brutes
Album- Wonderous Punch
Label-self-released


The Brutes are a newish rock band from Minneapolis. Their music reminds me of the Strokes (early Strokes too) and the singer sounds like Paul Banks of Interpol. “Yourspace” is the most obviously Strokes-y, and the guitars on “Last Man Left Hanging” seem to pulled straight from Franz Ferdinand’s first album. I wish this album had been more original, but overall it’s really not bad and the guitars are quite catchy for anyone who digs the jangly-pop vibe.
