Bold textBiography
Very little is known about the actual identity of the Go Hard Brothers, as they perform under the pseudonyms "Go Hard Brother 1" and "Go Hard Brother 2" but they have given some clues into their lives past and present. The duo claim to have met in the small spa town of Cheltenham in 1999 and are believed to have been school friends throughout their adolscence. They cite the somewhat stifled Cheltonian atmosphere as the main reason behind their experimental and avant-garde musical style and a desire to break free of traditional musical roles and genres. Go Hard Brother 2 has publicly stated that the cosmopolitan society of Brighton, his birthplace has been a major factor behind the multiculural aspects of the band's music.
Bold text Music: Important Features and Problems with Catagorisation
Although the GHBs define themselves as experimental electronic-jazz/dance, they encompass a range of other genres into their music. On their debut, and to date sole EP, "Stick A Fork In It It's Done", they display a clear interest in rock, art rock and post punk in particular, hip hop, jazz, blues and power ballads. "We wanted to create a sound that reflects the growing diveristy within society today" says Go Hard Brother 1, and they have received considerable praise from their peers on the underground scene and several music critics, such as the notorious Jassy S for achieving their aim.
The GHBs are not fond of ostentatious or elaborate lyrics, claiming that any poetic lyrics would simply distract the listener from the essence of their music, the instruments. However, in almost all their songs, short and often intentionally humorous phrases can be heard, often mimicing Tim Westwood, who the band claim is "the funniest man alive today" and who is a personal hero and role model for both men. The track "China is Rubbish" has caused some outrage within the Chinese community but the band cite the controversial Communist dictatorship as the motivation behind the political satire rather than the republic itself.
Some common features of Go Hard Brothers Songs include: A variety of different sections and genres A fast tempo A "come down section" that is both preceded and proceded by a musical climax Various "wigger" comments Synthesizers A use of repetition and the recycling of ideas
