The Garcia Brothers is the second release by Axe Murder Boyz on Psychopathic Records, and their first since their departure from Psychopathic's sub label Hatchet House in early 2011, after their Body In A Hole EP released on November 30, 2010.
Background
After Body In A Hole EP was released AMB began working on their new album The Garcia Brothers in 2011. For almost 2 years they worked on songs and scrapped them. They resigned with Psychopathic in early 2013, joining Insane Clown Posse, Moonshine Bandits and Kung Fu Vampire on The Mighty Death Pop! Tour. On the tour AMB announced that they have began reworking on TGB and they finally have the baseline for what they wanted the album to sound like. During the 2013 GOTJ, Otis was asked when The Garcia Brothers would be released, and he was projecting a December 2013 release date. After a minor setback, The Garcia Brothers was released on March 25, 2014.
Style and influences
The style of The Garcia Brothers is very different from anything Axe Murder Boyz have done in recent years. Many reviewers of the album compared it to having a Tech N9ne/Strange Music Inc. type sound to it. The entire album was recorded at Psychopathic's own studio The Lotus Pod in Detroit, MI and produced by AMB member Otis.
Release
Psycopathic released snippets of TGB in late April/early May. The first music video from the album was "Might Go Mad" ft. Insane Clown Posse. Though the video does not show AMB & ICP it is the first video by Psychopathic to do that and have the lyrics in its place. "I Keeps It Movin'" was the second music video from the album. On March 25, 2015 Psychopathic Records announced that "The Garcia Brothers" album is now being sold at Best Buy stores.
