Have members played with any other bands?
Do you write your own music or perform covers? Has it always been this way? Starting out, we were just strictly a cover band playing lounge tunes at local clubs and restaurants, but over the past four years we've grown into a Rock&Roll machine, releasing our first EP "MMXV" in 2015, and our first LP will be released May 31st, 2016 entitled "Love Sentence"
What year did the band form? mid 2012
Where is bands home? 45 minutes out of Pittsburgh in the town New Brighton, which is where the name Brighton Boys comes from.
What's your style or genre? It's hard to place a certain style of genre on us since we all bring something different to the table, but in our most basic form, Pop Rock/Soul.
What inspires your music? The thing that inspires us the most would have to be the fans and the actual love for music itself. Nothing feels greater than writing a new song and getting to make people smile when they hear it.
How often do you rehearse? At the moment, we are spending so much time writing and recording in the studio that we haven't been rehearsing, but rehearsals for the new album are coming up!
Do you utilize a booking agency, and what are your thoughts around that? We're more of a DIY band, but a booking agency could definitely help a lot, especially when it comes to getting gigs further from home.
What are your songs about? Mostly girls, life, common struggles, etc.
Do you start with the music or the lyrics? It usually starts with the music, but occasionally we build the song around the lyrics.
Have you done any covers live? Covers are our specialty. We've been playing covers since we started the band and I definitely think we take a lot of inspiration from the songs we play when we're writing original material.
What ages are most of your concert attendants? We attract a very broad audience, ranging anywhere from early teens to 70's and 80's.
Where do you plan to gig the coming year?
Do you have any role models or idols? Shakira
Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today? A good mix of both. Music has changed so much over the years and certain artists/bands have different sounds and techniques to the sounds they make.
What advice would you give other bands or artists? Set goals, have a plan and execute it.
Do you have any new material? We do, and you will be able to hear some of it when our record debuts on May 31.
How can people reach you? We can always be reached by any of our social media accounts, but usually all business goes through our email: thebrightonboys.booking@gmail.com
Social media addresses?
Everyones pretty much had their different projects before the forming of The Brighton Boys, but since then we've all been dedicated to this one band.
As many places as we can.
