While Europe still writhes in the claws of winter, the band with the sunniest disposition on the planet, BROTHER FIRETRIBE, are already jumping the gun towards summer – introducing Sunbound.

Band’s fourth full-length presents an ensemble who’ve evolved their sound further, having let go some of the heavy metal trappings of their past and now lean more toward the ultra-melodic West Coast AOR.

With all the band’s well-beloved trademark traits – Pekka Ansio Heino’s silkenly suave voice, Tomppa Nikulainen’s celestial keyboard passages and melodic magnificence, Emppu Vuorinen’s ever-recognizable guitar classisness, Jason Flick’s heavenly harmony vocals and pulsating bass and Hannes Pirilä’s driving drum beats –BROTHER FIRETRIBE’s “Sunbound” sounds fatter than their previous work to date, and not just more contemporary, also better than ever.

It is safe to say that the album’s leading single has been heard in all of the band’s native Finland’s households, because the fight song Taste Of A Champion (that could knock even Rocky out), was used as the television advert theme song for the duration of seven weeks by one of the country’s largest supermarket chains in the earlier half on 2016.
