When relatives manage not only to coexist peacefully within the same family, but also to engage in joint activities, this cannot but arouse admiration.
The ability to negotiate and come to a common denominator is so strong between people that they are ready to move mountains, being shoulder to shoulder. And often these mountains lie in the musical sphere.
This article will focus on brothers-musicians who were not afraid to organize rock bands together. And quite successful, as will become known in the future.
10 Liam and Noel Gallagher
Definitely, the founders of the British band “Oasis” are not the Gallagher brothers, it’s true. But they made an undeniable contribution to the history of the team and brought fame around the world.
In fact, “Oasis” grew out of a young band of musicians “The Rain”, in which bassist Gigsy invited his school friend Liam.
The guys started to get active. Subsequently, Liam’s brother Noel returned from a trip to America as part of another musical group, whom the members of Oasis invited to perform on the condition that Noel would become the leader of the group.
“Oasis” conquered many peaks, but, unfortunately, in 2009 the Gallagher brothers got tired of each other and the group broke up.
9. Jared and Shannon Leto
But a group with an unusual name “Thirty Seconds to Mars” found life precisely thanks to two talented brothers: Jared and Shannon Leto. Its foundation was in 1998.
By that time, Jared had already starred in several feature films, such as Prefontaine and Patchwork, as well as in the television series My So-Called Life.
At the same time, first of all, the younger Leto positions himself precisely as a musician.
The brothers define the direction of their music as alternative rock. When Jared and Shannon were asked where such an unusual name came from, the brothers honestly admitted that they accidentally saw an article by a professor from Harvard, who talked about technological progress and about how humanity would literally be 30 seconds from Mars.
8. Gerard and Mikey Way
The unusual name of the group “My Chemical Romance” came up with Mikey after reading a book by Irvine Welsh, which was called “Ecstasy: Three Stories of Love and Chemistry”.
The first composition of the group was written at the suggestion of Gerard after the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11 in New York. The thing is that the elder Way witnessed these terrible events, so they left an indelible imprint on him.
Gerard’s brother got into MCR by accident after hearing the band rehearse. He was so impressed that in six months he mastered playing the bass guitar in order to join the musical activities of his older brother.
7. Anegus, Malcolm, George Young
Creators and members of the legendary and mega-popular rock band AC/DC.
Three brothers from Australia with Scottish roots in 1973 decided to found their own musical group, which concentrated on hard rock, blues rock and rock and roll.
Angus and Malcolm are mostly known as performers, they have made a huge contribution to the popularization and promotion of AC/DC.
George was a bass player for a while, but devoted most of his time to production and the Australian band The Easybeats.
Around 200 million albums have been sold worldwide.
6. Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson
Very young Brian, Dennis and Carl have been music fans since childhood. Most likely, their father, Murray Wilson, who worked for many years as a jazz musician and professional composer, is to blame.
In 1954, the eldest of the Brian brothers heard The Four Freshmen perform and was so impressed that he decided to learn all their hits. On this business, he “hooked” and Karl.
In addition, young musicians have always adored the music of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, which also influenced their taste.
Subsequently, their work was defined as surf, and this direction was given to the team by Dennis, who has always been an ardent fan of surfing.
5. Ray and Dave Davis
The British rock band the Kinks got green in the 60s. Behind her are two enthusiastic brothers Ray and Dave Davis. The original idea for the name was the word “The Ravens”.
The first single was the 1964 song “You really got me”, which attracted the attention of not only listeners in the UK, but also in America. Their group was even included in the “big four” of British performers who thundered loudly around the world. In addition to the Kinks, it included The Who, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.
4. Mikhail and Alexey Gorshenevs
These brothers, although both went down the musical path, did not spend their invaluable creative time creating a common rock band.
The elder brother, Mikhail, devoted himself and his vocals to the Korol i Shut group, while the younger one, Alexei, became the vocalist of the Kukryniksy group. This was probably the right decision, since the styles of music of the two Gorshenevs, although they belong to rock, are completely different in their direction and meaning of the songs.
If in “KiSh” horror, folk and punk, then in “Kukryniksy” the emphasis is on post-punk and alternative rock.
3. Sergei and Vladimir Kristovskie
Behind the famous Russian group “Uma2rmaH” is the work of two talented brothers: Sergey and Vladimir Kristovskikh.
The younger brother Vladimir created his first punk rock band back in 1998, which he called “View from Above”. Despite the creative success of the team, it broke up after a couple of years.
In 2003, he invited his older brother Sergei to create his own group. It is not difficult to guess that the name was coined in honor of the beloved American actress of the Kristovsky brothers, Uma Thurman.
2. Boris and Konstantin Burdaev
The twins Boris and Konstantin in 1998 decided to create their own pop-rock band and called it “Brothers Grim”. Clearly in the title there is a hint of the famous fairy tale brothers Grimm.
Boris is responsible for vocals and guitar, while Konstantin is responsible for bass guitar and backing vocals.
Unfortunately, in 2009 the team broke up.
1. Vadim and Gleb Samoilov
Is there still a person who does not know about the Russian rock band “Agatha Christie”? The very famous and popular songs “Like in War”, “Opium for Nobody”, “Fairy Tale Secret”.
Despite the gloominess of many songs, the group does not lose fans, but on the contrary, it gains more and more fans every year. The credit for this, of course, belongs to the Samoilov brothers, who in 1988 invited their friends to organize musical activities together.
