BRÜDER4BROTHERS RELEASE ‘FREUNDSCHAFT BROTHERHOOD’
German/American country-rock outfit Brüder4Brothers recently released the music video for "Freundschaft Brotherhood" (Friendship-Brotherhood).
Made up of the German-Italian group Frei.Wild, along with Paul Teutul and his son, Mikey, and Alex Franco, better known as Orange County Choppers, Brüder4Brothers will release their album, Brotherhood, on August 7 via Rookies & Kings, distributed by Soulfood Music.
The video channels massive patriotic appeal and is reminiscent of the Marlboro Man commercials created by Leo Burnett merged with the red-white-and-blue devotion encountered in Chevrolet and Ford truck commercials – rugged and loyal, including shots of New York City, open roads, rock n’ roll, badass motorcycles, and beaucoup beer.
Brüder4Brothers sing in both German and English with arms around each other’s shoulders and even while riding motorcycles costing as much as a house. The mood is rife with camaraderie, faithfulness, and an unbreakable bond called brotherhood, akin to that of warriors.
A dulcet baritone voice sings in English, while a rasping guttural tone takes on the German lyrics, infusing the words with energy and adamant force.
Written and filmed prior to the pandemic, the message of the visuals is clear: these men live by a code, where a handshake is more than a greeting and a man’s word is sacred.
"Freundschaft Brotherhood" opens on strumming guitars flowing into a low-slung rock melody flavored with hints of country. A measured thumping rhythm carries the guitars, which, when they ramp up on the chorus, growl with rumbling subdues intensity.

“Around the world we go but we always think of home / Brothers we will always be, to eternity / Brüder für immer, Brüder in Ewigkeit / Freundschaft, Brotherhood, die für immer bleibt / Around the world / Around the world.”
On "Freundschaft Brotherhood," Brüder4Brothers deliver a soundscape bursting with the simplicity of virtue – the sound of allegiance and dependability in any circumstances.
