THE BRYMERS: “40 YEAR BROTHERHOOD”
STILL TOGETHER AFTER ALL THESE YEARS !
If you were wondering where the Brymers have been since their 60's hit "Sacrifice", well look no further ! They have just come out with their latest CD entitled "40 Year Brotherhood".
The highlight tracks for me were "Treat Her Right", a great up tempo number with a Kinks like riff that would make Dave Davies proud. Other top notch cuts include, "Bad Boy", "Fit Me In" and "Do You Think You Love Me", the last song mentioned being a fantastic little instumental. 18 songs plus some studio chatter take you right into the heart of the Brymers' world... a world where oldies from the 60's meet the high tech production efforts of today. To quote The Iceman on the opening track, doing his finest Wolfman Jack voice, "It's Time To Take Out Your Boogaloo" and enjoy the latest from the Brymers, "40
Year Brotherhood".

The Brymers: “40 Year Brotherhood”
“The Brymers have done it again with another exquisite CD. The group’s southern rock influences reverberates through-out in the tracks such as “Bad Boy,” “Torture You,” “The Dark Side,” and “Black Velvet.” The sounds of the San Joaquin are back when you take a spin with The Brymers. I guarantee you will want to get up and dance.”

THE BRYMERS: “40 YEAR BROTHERHOOD”
Killer track. One of my favorites from your album. Reminds me of the early Kinks. Love the fuzzed guitar, the wailing harmonica, and the pounding rhythmic groove. Wish I was old enough to have seen you guys play back in the day. I woulda been right up ther in front shaking my head like a maniac!!!

"OVERGROUND - UNDERGROUND
(Austrialian music web site)
Written by Kit Burns
In the unpredictable world of rock & roll, there are has-beens and wanna-be’s, but what about the should-have-beens? The Brymers had the punky spunk and snappy pop hooks of the best British Invasion groups of the ’60s; however, mainstream success eluded them. Over the past couple of decades, their lost Summer of Love nuggets “Sacrifice” and “I Want to Tell You” became sought-after cult items. Since young acts such as the Strokes and the Hives made garage rock a hip alternative to much of today’s processed cheese, the Brymers are finally starting to get recognition a la their Pacific Northwest counterparts the Sonics. They even decided to reunite, and original drummer Dick Lee discusses how it all transpired.
