Johnny Kelly was even scouting rehearsal spaces when he got the call. Peter died three years after its release, made sadder by the fact he was in good health and looking forward to making a new album which never got made.

Somehow through the constraints of a re-interpretation, Brother Haw k’s southern roots shine through on Big Trouble Sessions to make it a memorable, soulful and compelling collection of songs that live long after the last note rings through the speakers. The band’s powerful take on Alice in Chains’ pitch-black “Nutshell” and a surprisingly fresh performance of Soundgarden’s “Fell on Black Days” are chilling listening experiences. With Big Trouble Sessions Brother Hawk passionately and proudly paid homage to the original compositions but never confining themselves to the sonic limitations of their influences. It’s basically just a heavy ass Pink Floyd riff so it was right in our Q-zone,” said Brisendine. “Type O Negative’s ‘Love You To Death’ is such an iconic song that’s been blasted in the van many many times so we were really excited to cover it.


The song appears on Brother Hawk’s Big Trouble Sessions EP, which will also feature the band’s re-envisioning classic tracks from Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, along with two original songs “like Water” and “The Black Dog”. To celebrate the new deal with Liars Club, Brother Hawk have released their cover of Type O Negative’s “Love You To Death” online. Playing shows with fellow Atlanta outfit Blackberry Smoke helped them earn a devoted core following, as they continued to win over massive audiences playing Atlanta’s infamous Tabernacle and Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium. Bassist James Fedigan joined the Brother Hawk family after playing with Brisendine in hardcore bands, forming a friendship and musical bond. Brother Hawk started as a way for the members to play without musical limitations, no preconceived genre, and just let the music channel through them like a vessel.īrother Hawk burst onto the scene with their Love Songs EP and hit the scene drawing critical acclaim for their brand of Southern blues-rock with raging riffs and huge hooks. The two met in elementary school, bonding over music and becoming lifelong friends ever since.
