JEFF The Brotherhood is Jake and Jamin Orrall, two brothers that play drums and guitar. They grew up in Tennessee making music and trying to have a good time. Since their inception they have been playing anywhere from house parties to rooftops, backyards, bars and art galleries and releasing their own records, tapes, comic books and home made videos.

The Brotherhood has been called "kraut punk", "psychedelic grunge" and "noise pop" drawing comparisons to bands like Hawkwind, Wipers, and early Sonic Youth.

They have been carrying their heavy damage all over the country since 2006 and have shared bills with Oneida, Battles, Sonic Youth, Ex-Models, Jay Reatard, Black Pus and Dave Cloud. Their "we'll play anywhere" attitude and frenetic live shows have earned them near legendary status in the clubs and basements of Nashville and beyond. With three guitar strings and a minimal drum kit, they manage to distill rock to its primal essence.

"Postadolescent bros dig into the sweet spot between punk and hard rock." - Spin

"Yes, this Nashville duo (who are actually brothers, although neither is called Jeff) make really loud, really fast music. But it’s also really catchy. Just try to get through one of their sets without stomping your foot and pumping your fist." - Nylon Magazine

"Jeff the Brotherhood brings a garage-rock attack to ’70s stoner metal, sounding something like Queens of the Stone Age if they recorded a tribute album to the Standells or some other Nuggets rock band." - Entertainment Weekly

"Seriously, Jake and Jamin put on one of the rockin-est, most fun shows I've seen this year." - Brooklyn Vegan

"Jeff specialized in Nirvana-inspired riffs and noisy punk tantrums, and their singer wasn’t afraid to put on a show." - CMJ

"Epic by name, likewise by scope, JEFF: The Brotherhood features two actual, no-kidding brothers, Jake and Jamin Orrall, pounding minimalist punk-psych from whichever surface squeals loudest." - Village Voice

"JEFF the Brotherhood are two brothers whom we have grown to love as our own. Jake and Jamin hail from Nashville, TN but share psychedelic mayhem wherever they roam." - theTripwire
