Jake and Jamin Orrall, the two brothers in the heavy-touring Nashville-based band JEFF the Brotherhood, will hit the stage tonight at the Rock N Roll Hotel as the opening act for Fucked Up.
The guitar and drums duet released its most recent album, “We Are the Champions,” June 21 and was greeted with starry-eyed accolades and praise from Paste Magazine, Rolling Stone, Altered Zones and Spin Magazine.
Comparisons to legends ranging from The Ramones and AC/DC to Weezer and Sonic Youth have not dazed the brothers, Jamin Orrall explained.
“A lot more people see our stuff and see us play,” Jamin said. “We don’t care if the comparisons happen or not.”
The band recently played Bonnaroo in their home state of Tennessee, an experience Jamin describes as “really horrible then really fun…the actual show was really fun.”
The band travels across the country but has global aspirations as well. Jamin said Japan is the duo’s most sought-after performance destination. Their album will be released there in August, so like their childhood dream of forming a rock band, serenading Japan could also come to true for them.
Tickets are $15 and doors open at 8 p.m.
