Indie rock sensations, THE BRUTE CHORUS, are finally making their way to the United States!

On the verge of announcing several official SXSW showcases, the group is ready to take to the stage for their first American shows. Combining garage rock, blues, and folk music with mythological stories scattered along, their accessible sound has managed to escape any generalized genre pigeon-holing as the group has carved out their own genuine, word-of-mouth buzz from their exciting live shows.

THE BRUTE CHORUS are James Steel, Nick Foots, Mark Austin and Dave Ferrett.

In 2010 the band had released their sophomore album, How the Caged Bird Sings, gaining critical acclaim from the likes of NME, Drowned in Sound, Clash Magazine, Artrocker, The Fly, Zane Lowe, amongst others. THE BRUTE CHORUS also has played alongside indie heavy hitters such as ART BRUT, IDA MARIA, MARTHA WAINWRIGHT, and have surely proved that they can keep up with the big boys. The group had even become Artists in Residence on John Kennedy’s XFM show for a week last year where the famed DJ played live session tracks alongside album cuts, highlighting the band’s perfection and raw rock n’ roll spirit. Videos like “Birdman,” which was the Single of the Week on Kerrang! Radio and Q Radio, received heavy rotations on websites as well as being aired on MTV Iggy in the United States. Everyone certainly wants a piece of THE BRUTE CHORUS, and now it’s time to get yours.

Appearing on all the major UK radio stations including Radio1, Radio2, and BBC6music, THE BRUTE CHORUS had also seen heightened success after playing a monthly residency at Camden's infamous Hawley Arms pub.
