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.

The inception of BandB came about with singer-songwriter Chris Breest’s ambition to make a record in late 2003. Anxious to start production of his work, Breest turned to fellow studio engineer and future drummer of BandB, Matt Binder. The two collaborated and joined forces with various friends and musicians including bassist Brian Rizzardi, keyboard player Peter “Keys” Pisarczyk (George Clinton, Muzik Mafia, Jody Raffoul), and guitar guru Rob Nelson to officially form BandB in April of 2004. 
What does one do upon graduating from business school after putting aside dreams of a life as a musician? Of course, you become a teacher- and that’s exactly what Adam Percy did.
“Access granted” is the theme of Lenny Bosh’s freshman CD, ‘Thoughts I Collected.’ But don’t be fooled by the independent label, because the production on this first-time-out CD is top shelf. The CD was written and recorded at Lenny’s woodland oasis in Coventry, CT – Sound of Fury Studios.
From the depths of the ocean off the coast of sunny San Diego, California, USA, Planet Earth, Milky Way, the Universe and beyond, comes Willie Ames (guitarist/banjoist/singer/songwriter) born August 14, 1981. Willie first learned to play the guitar at the age of 5 with simple lessons from his father who taught him how to form basic chords. From then on, playing the guitar was a big hobby for Willie outside of school and sports. Self teaching himself songs by ear led the way for Willie to grab a solid grasp for playing songs on the guitar. At the age of 18, Willie became deeply inspired by the music of Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits and Lindsey Buckingham with Fleetwood Mac. While attending college, studying Mechanical Engineering, Willie had a calling for a music career. Willie has written and continues to write his own original material that has listeners comparing his sound to his influences and other well known musicians. 
How do you define the sound of a band whose influences range from groundbreaking groups such as Rush, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rage Against the Machine to modern hard rock phenoms like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Taproot? Split 2nd Alibi has created a sound that can best be described as high-energy hard rock that irresistibly turns heads. Formed in 2007 by members of two upstate New York bands, the buzz surrounding Split 2nd Alibi is unmistakable following the release of their first self-titled demo in August of 2007.
