The Brew, “one of the most thrilling live acts of our time“ (Rocks magazine), present their new album . “The Third Floor” produced by the British trio in cooperation with producer Chris West (The Verve, Status Quo). The songs resemble a “mixture of old school and modern rock”, says Kurtis Smith, describing the style of the extremely homogeneous band in which he (*03/1988) plays the drums. The band is completed by his father (bass) and the even younger frontman Jason Barwick (*06/1989). The three who have played together since 2004 take their inspiration from the shared affection to “Led Zeppelin, the early Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Wolfmother, The Raconteurs, Kula Shaker or The Black Eyed Peas”. “Tear down walls and reach as many people as possible. That’s what we want!”, reveals Kurtis Smith. Their audience spans across generations, similar to their sound. Third Floor with its title song, which deals with life on tour and “the fact that we usually stay on the third floor in hotels” (Tim Smith), is supposed to lift the band to the next level in their career. The band from Northeast England always fully satisfies their audience with their gigs. The intensity of their music within the alternately impulsive or sensitive performance – “we always give 110%” (Tim Smith) – brings back memories of the shows of The Who (“Tommy”). With their tour in fall, The Brew will once more display why they are predicted a great future.
