TESTIMONIALS

Anothony O’Grady Sydney Morning Herald - 2007
“Last year the Brewster Brothers achieved visibility with the album ‘Shadows Fall’…..They toured, constructed a website and found an influential fan in the Sydney ABC radioannouncer Richard Glover.” They accumulate a repertoire of original songs that exist in aparallel universe to the brooding menace of the Angels classics such as
Take A Long Line or Mr Damage”.
