Review: Feb. 2009 Review by Jason Kordich, URB magazine, Beverly Hills CA. ..
"Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Brotherofman is a folk/rock singer/songwriter who sings about everything from love and relationships to politics, conflicts and understanding. Citing such artists as Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop as influences, his music maintains the soul of these aforementioned artists while keeping the story alive and strong in each and every note he sings and every chord he plays. Brotherofman is on a musical journey of self-discovery. Check out “Sad Inside” for a glimpse into his very introspective world". ..
