Jeff the Brotherhood / Juiceboxx / Smooth Brain

Jake and Jamin Orrall, aka JEFF The Brotherhood, are seen by many to be latter-day pioneers of the Nashville rock scene, but they see themselves as brothers who can’t remember not playing music together for fun. Their family-owned, vinyl-centered record label, Infinity Cat Recordings, has been a pillar of support for Nashville bands since 2002 (with 60 releases to date) and was named  “Nashville’s Best Record Label 2010″ by the Nashville Scene. But their first love has always been the Brotherhood known as JEFF. Known for their relentless touring and their “we’ll play anywhere” mentality, they have built a reputation for stripping rock music down to its basics, and delivering mind-bending live shows with Jamin’s three drums and three cymbals and Jake’s three-string guitar and ferocious vocals.  JEFF The Brotherhood’s work ethic practically defines D.I.Y., from their simple but compelling videos to their self-produced and critically acclaimed albums, EP’s and singles. The band clocked in over 230 shows in the past year and received critical acclaim for their Heavy Days & We Are The Champions albums from the likes of Brooklyn Vegan, Spin, Nylon, Village Voice, the New Yorker, KEXP, Maximum Rock n’ Roll, and MANY more.
