Berlin – With the debut full-length album Don’t Dream Alone set to drop on September 18th via Expunged Records, My Brothers and I, who hail from Portland, are on an ambitious jaunt to re-configure the general public’s mind when it comes to music coming from this area of the world. Armed with a formidable knowledge of music from classic pop to Motown melodies, this band of brothers answered a few questions about what makes them tick and where they see their sound and musical direction taking them in the future….

Erik: The release of our music video for “Dream” is right around the corner. We have concerts up and down the west coast after the release of our album Don’t Dream Alone (September 18th). In 2016 we’ll be working hard to travel wherever people like our music and want us to come play. Playing live is where we thrive as a band, we take pride in sounding just as good live as we do on the album.
