Although they've been playing in various bands together for over seven years, The Brother Whys formed with their current lineup in 2007. Influenced mainly by the ability to convey emotion of bands such as Pixies and Built to Spill, The Brother Whys exist to try and capture the listenability of pop music while still maintaining the honesty and sense of connectivity that makes indie music so great.

"Gaining inspiration from the Pixies and channeling acts such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World, The Brother Whys make music that can best be described as emo, before that label became a dirty word ... the group proves it is already adept at crafting songs that function as part of a cohesive whole without ever becoming repetitive.
