Alternative Rock

Brigade

Brigade are a four piece band from Britain. Fronted by the soft toned Will Simpson who writes exactly how he sees the world, with confusing cynicism and passion. James Plant who brings both passion and energy that drives the music, Naoto Hori whose bass playing skills give depth, and Andrew Kearton who pounds the skins driving the music’s heartbeat onwards. Musically they sound like a hybrid of Placebo/Muse/Cave-In/Oceansize/Desman/My Vitriol nature meshed together in harmonious delicate melodies that build up to pure writhing rock.
