Brothers-in-law Kayle Greiman and Daniel Matlach never set out to become a band.  They had but one thing on their minds: escaping kitchen duties at family get-togethers.  The two found themselves retreating into the Matlach’s basement-a solid concrete oasis where a keyboard and an old drum set entertained the stow-aways.

This less than noble desire to evade domestic responsibilities eventually led to the formation of what they now call Bruder.  Appropriately named, the German word “Bruder” translates into the English word “brother.”

While sharing a family connection, these two come from entirely different musical backgrounds.  Matlach’s background is one of formal musical education.  The son of a high school band instructor, he was brought up fully submersed in the science of music theory.

He became invested in music heavily through his college years, going on to graduate with a degree in musical composition. Proficient as he was on numerous instruments, Daniel found himself gravitating towards the piano.  This affinity towards keys now plays an integral role as Daniel uses synthesizers to create the musical backbone of Bruder.
Greiman’s resume however, reads much differently.  There was very little formal education involved in his musical journey; he learned primarily by doing.

Although drums were his first instrument, Kayle earned his stripes as a musician playing bass and singing in a touring rock band for the better part of ten years. Hard work and determination gained his trio two indie record deals and enough van-miles to render a U.S. Atlas worthless.  Albeit a different journey, Greiman’s was one that gained him invaluable knowledge in touring, recording, and performance.

As Bruder, Greiman and Matlach find their musical alliance to be a perfect match. Greiman’s seasoned vocals and drumming are perfectly complimented by Matlach’s intricate synthesizer layers.

The two spend countless hours collaborating in Greiman’s home studio in Tulsa, Ok. creating their synth driven sounds.  “We work really hard at being positive about each other’s ideas and making sure that we have a healthy friendship,” says Kayle of his relationship with his bandmate.  “So many bands have major walls built up among themselves.  They are insecure about their role in the band and are ultimately unable to fully express themselves.  We believe nothing could be more detrimental to our creativity and ability to create.”

The friendship between the two and their diverse musical perspectives verify that Bruder has all the potential for an extremely bright future.
