After studying music together as children and playing in separate bands as young men, Chris and Nick Woods have now created something entirely their own. The Woods Brothers, with the aid of producer Casey Crescenzo, have given us a concept album that tells the story of a wandering people in search of new beginnings after tyranny, destruction, and death engulf their homeland. While characters may remain nameless and places undefined, the tale contains within it tragically familiar reminders of our volatile nature as a species. How we struggle in hope against the pain of our cyclical, patterned lives. How we build, how we destroy, and how we build again. Featuring 10 different vocalists, 11 different guitarists, Casey Crescenzo of "The Dear Hunter," Thomas Erak of "The Fall of Troy," world-renowned singer/songwriter Elliott Yamin, and more, The Woods Brothers' debut album is a monumental achievement. In both its lyrical concept and musical execution, it is a testament to the power of collaboration in the search for a better life.
