JEFF The Brotherhood, We Are the Champions
Featured Album
[As part of his eMusic Takeover, BBC DJ and indie taste-making legend Steve Lamacq chose five records for us to feature as Review of the Day. Here's what he had to say about JEFF The Brotherhood's We Are The Champions]:
I always like bands that make records just because they need to. One of the things I grew up with, listening to John Peel from the age of about 14 onward, was at that point, there were a lot of bands who weren’t making music because they wanted to get signed. They weren’t thinking about their careers. They were just making music because they had to. JEFF the Brotherhood are, to me, that classic band. When I saw them play in London, it was just a bunch of people making a classic rock ‘n’ roll racket, really. It was just passionate and feral, one of those things where you think, “This, in a way, evokes some of the spirit of what I remember from seeing the Ramones live inLondonin 1984. This is as raw as you can get, with no more ambition than just creating a great noise.” That’s brilliant, I think.
