When relatives manage to not only coexist peacefully within the same family, but also to engage in joint activities, this cannot but cause admiration.
The ability to negotiate and come to a common denominator is so strong between people that they are ready to turn the mountains, being shoulder to shoulder. And often these mountains lie in the musical field.
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
Certainly, the founders of the British group “Oasis” are not the Gallagher brothers, this is true. But they made an indisputable contribution to the history of the collective and brought fame around the world.
In fact, “Oasis” is an adult from the young band “The Rain”, to which bassist Gigsy invited his school friend Liam.
The guys began to speak actively. Subsequently, brother Liam Noel returned from a trip to America as part of another musical group, whom Oasis participants 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 were still tired of each other and the group broke up.
9. Jared and Shannon Leto
But the group with the unusual name “Thirty Seconds to Mars” found their 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 Prefontein and Patchwork, as well as in the television series My So-Called Life.
In this case, first of all, the younger Summer 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 from a Harvard professor who talked about technological progress and how humanity would literally be “30 seconds from Mars”.
8. Gerard and Mikey Way
The unusual name of the group “My Chemical Romance” was invented by Mikey by reading the book of Irwin Welch, entitled “Ecstasy: Three Stories of Love and Chemistry.”
The first composition of the group was written with the filing of Gerard after the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11 in New York. The fact is that senior Way witnessed these terrible events, so they left an indelible mark on him.
Gerard's brother got into the MCR by chance after hearing the band rehearse. He was so impressed that for six months he mastered playing the bass to join the musical activities of his older brother.
7. Anegus, Malcolm, George Young
The creators and participants 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 focused on hard rock, blues rock and rock and roll.
Angus and Malcolm are more known as performers, they have made a huge contribution to the popularization and promotion of "AC / DC".
George was a bass player for some time, but he devoted most of his life to the production and the Australian band The Easybeats.
About 200 million copies of albums have been sold worldwide.
6. Brown, Dennis, Carl Wilson
Very young Brian, Dennis and Karl have been fans of music since childhood. Most likely, their father Murray Wilson, who worked for many years as a jazz musician and professional composer, was to blame.
In 1954, the older brother, Brown, heard the performance of The Four Freshmen and was so impressed that he decided to learn all their hits. On this matter, he "hooked" and Carl.
In addition, young musicians always loved the music of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, which also influenced their taste.
Subsequently, their work was defined as a surf, and Dennis, who was always an ardent fan of surfing, set such a direction to the team.
5. Ray and Dave Davis
The British rock band Kinks got a green color in the 60s of the last century. Behind her are two enthusiastic brothers Ray and Dave Davis. The original idea of 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 “Kinks”, the groups “The Who”, “The Beatles” and “The Rolling Stones” were included.
4. Mikhail and Alexey Gorshenev
These brothers, although they both went along the musical path, did not spend their invaluable creative time on creating a common rock band.
The elder brother, Mikhail, devoted himself and his vocals to the King and the Jester band, while the younger brother, Alexei, became the vocalist of the Kukryniksy group. This was probably the right decision, since the styles of the 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 bet is on post-punk and alternative rock.
3. Sergey and Vladimir Kristovsky
Behind the well-known Russian group “Uma2rmaH” is the work of two talented brothers: Sergey and Vladimir Kristovsky.
The younger brother Vladimir back in 1998 created his first punk rock band, which he called "Top View". Despite the creative successes of the team, it broke up after a couple of years.
In 2003, he proposed to his elder brother Sergey to create his own group. It is easy to guess that the name was coined in honor of the beloved American actress of the Kristov 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 the Brothers Grim. Clearly in the name, there is a hint of the famous brothers-storytellers Grimm.
Boris is responsible for vocals and guitar, and Konstantin - for bass 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? Very well-known and popular songs are “Like at War”, “Opium for Nobody”, “Fairytale Secret”.
Despite the gloominess of many songs, the group does not lose fans, but on the contrary, it gets more and more fans every year. The merit in this, of course, belongs to the Samoilov brothers, who in 1988 invited friends to organize musical activity together.
