Ewan Currie has been the front man and primary songwriter for the Canadian rock band The Sheepdogs since their inception, in
Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan, in 2004. His brother Shamus joined the band as a touring member in 2012, and became a full member of the band as they were recording their fifth album,
Future Nostalgia, in 2014. The pair recorded the album that became
Vol.1 with
Thomas D'Arcy co-producing, along with the two Curries, at his Taurus Recording studio. One critic identified Bros as having "a much funkier, less guitar-oriented sound than the Sheepdogs." He notes too that Sheepdogs fans might be surprised to learn that Ewan Currie likes "Elton John, Burt Bacharach, and Henry Mancini." A year after the debut, Bros released a two-sided single for the holidays, entitled
A Very Bros. Christmas, Vol. 1, featuring two original songs. Their second full length album, Vol. 2, was released on July 16, 2021. The sophomore effort expanded on the variety of their debut record with sounds ranging "wildly from psychedelic jazz instrumentals to 60s influenced pop and soul." ==Members==
