Bothers Announce New Album “II” & Share Lead Single “Black / Orange”

Portland, Oregon’s Bothers have just announced the release of their sophomore full length, II, on November 18th via Dirt Cult Records with their advance single, Black/Orange, offering a first taste of the album. The band’s self-titled debut album was a concise and raging lesson in relentless punk ‘n roll, with tips of the hat to bands like Motörhead and Hot Snakes. II marks a new era for the band. Heavier and more expansive, the album ventures into the realm of metalic hardcore with fiercesome riffing and dynamic tempo changes. The melodic intensity of their first release remains, resulting in an album that calls to mind influences like Tragedy, Laughing Hyenas, Jesus lizard, Neurosis and Born Against. 

The members of Bothers all have prolific back catalogs with impressive projects including Prison Suicide, Young Livers, No//se, North Lincoln and Glass & Ashes. The new album was engineered and mixed by Mike Vera at Brown Sound Studios, mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East with cover art by Mark McCoy.
