The Thomas Brothers are kicking off 2020 with a bang!
Recorded over four years, this album truly is a labour of love and a real family project. As the title suggests, "Together" pays homage to all that have played a part in the making of the album, including the boys sister, Esther Ruth, and their dad, David Thomas, who both lent their musical talents to the record. "For us, family is about being real, and so is our music. This album describes what we mean to each other, and the importance of unity. Like we kept saying when recording it, You can go fast alone... or you can go far together!"
The Thomas Brothers really are a band of brothers. Consisting of four siblings, Sam, Josh, Joe and Ben, here’s what you need to know about the brothers in one paragraph:
Samuel - the Go-Getta. Fun fact he studied acting at Australia’s most prestigious drama school and wrote, created and acted in his own feature film Someone To Carry Me. Guess who wrote the score!; Josh - the self-described geek. He’s the only one in the band who enjoys computer technology. Sam writes the song and Josh makes it great!: Joe - the Lady’s Favourite. Constantly teased about his good looks, but his personality is his real hidden talent. Fun fact: Joe worked on Planet of the Apes… not as an extra) and Ben - the talented one. Drums, piano, guitar, vocals - he can pick up any instrument and master it. Speaking of pickups, he’s played competitive basketball in America.
The Thomas Brothers have been playing music together since before they could walk. They released their debut self-titled album in 2016, featuring the songs ‘I Need To Get Home’ and ‘Keep Holding On’.
With a musician for a dad, music is in their blood. But it’s not just music that the brothers are passionate about. For them, the visual representation of songs is equally as important, as evidence on their YouTube page, on which their videos have clocked up impressive streaming numbers in the hundreds of thousands.
“We’ve got a lot to say about love, family and togetherness, and we’re passionate about getting our message out there. We’re excited to be releasing our second album... And we’re not going to quit. You can go fast alone… or you can go far together.”
“We hope TOGETHER makes people feel just that - together. It's really important to us that people everywhere can feel loved and included and part of the family. We really are a band of brothers. Nothing is more important than family."
