Sherlock
Brothers is a five piece band from Sweden that was
formed in 2004. The band started to record and
release demos, EP:s and albums on their own. The self
produced debut album was released in spring 2009 and the
single “Sleeping Silence” started to get airtime
on Swedish radio.
Now
discovered by Ninetone Records they released the "real"
debut album "Black Cat Tango" in spring 2011, produced
by platinum selling producer Patrik Frisk, including the
hit singles "Stay" and "Where Is Nowhere". Sherlock
Brothers was also awarded with "Breakthrough of the
Year" at Bandit Rock Awards in spring 2011.
Sherlock
Brothers is known for their chaotic live shows with
loads of energy and insane music. The music can
be described as grunge rock combined with a 70’s kind of
groove and a modern sound. The biggest hard rock magazine in
Scandinavia “Sweden Rock Magazine” described the music as a mix between Nirvana, Soundgarden and
Pearl Jam, but with a more unique and interesting sound
than post grunge bands like Nickelback.

Sherlock
Brothers är ett femmannaband från Mälardalen som
startades under 2004. Åren efter starten producerade och
släppte bandet demos, EP:s och album helt på egen hand.
I början av 2009 släpptes det egenproducerade
debutalbumet vars första singel ”Sleeping Silence”
började spelas på radio runt om i landet.
Sherlock
Brothers har kommit att bli uppmärksammade för sina
kaosartade livespelningar som ofta kännetecknas av lika
stora doser svett och rundgång. Musiken kan förklaras
som grungeinfluerad rock med en unikhet som
karaktäriseras av kombinationen av 70-talssväng och
rockig grunge försett med ett modernt sound.
Skandinaviens största hårdrockstidning Sweden Rock
Magazine beskrev musiken på följande sätt.
"Sherlock Brothers förebilder är förmodligen Nirvana,
Soundgarden och Pearl Jam men västeråsborna har en
tydlig egen identitet. Musiken är ömsom ösig, ömsom lugn
men inte mellantråkig likt postgrungiga Nickelback och
dylika akter.”
I samband med uppmärksamheten kring Sherlock Brothers
och det egenproducerade albumet skrev de på för
skivbolaget Ninetone Records och släppte våren 2011 det
"riktiga” debutalbumet "Black Cat Tango" producerat av
Patrik Frisk (Takida, Corroded, Itchy Daze). Albumet
innehåller både den hårt svängiga ”Stay” och nya singeln
"Where Is Nowhere?". Dagen efter albumreleasen 2011 vann
Sherlock Brothers också priset för ”Årets genombrott” på
Bandit Rock Awards.
SAID ABOUT SHERLOCK BROTHERS
I truly
love the sound of loud guitars with rocknroll vocals on
top like with the Västerås based Sherlock Brothers new
album "Black cat tango", they are influenced by heavy
70´s rock and grunge in a modern way.

Sherlock is a very original band!
With great guitar-riffs, groovy drums and a depth in the
vocals that makes a great impression, Sherlock is
something you mustn't miss! You should see Sherlock if
you're in to heavy rock and want to get a
live-experience!
- Total Festival
Sherlock seem to have a cool view on the music they
are making. They don't care about clothes, image or
genres. Instead, they're focusing on the music, which is
more than ok, if you ask me. I am missing this kind of
view by many bands today...
