Brother's Keeper was a band from Erie, Pennsylvania.

Formed in 1994 by members of a number of other local bands, they became the backbone of the Erie hardcore punk and metalcore scene. Alongside bands like xDisciplex A.D., Digression and Neverfall, they created a local community of youth bonded by a common musical interest. Brother's Keeper's sound stood out due to the unique vocal style of Mike Ski.

The band released 5 CDs as well as a number of 7" records. From 1996 through their breakup in 2003, they were signed to Trustkill Records.
