*BROOD YOUR DADA* (Summer Demo 2011)

Brood is the sound worship duo formed by Jose Macabra and Sammie Joplin (Mothax). 
Brood started its journey when they met at London College of Communication whilst both were studying B.A. Sound Arts and Design. 
It is a noise/industrial music project that explores the subconscious and hypnotic trance state in sound form. Hypnagogic exploration draws themes from innate contradiction within the worlds society expressed through a mix of soundscapes and improvised sonics. The band started in 2008 when they decided to unite forces to create a collaborative improvisation group that would generate a new concept in music and performing arts, mixing old and new techniques to deliver a melodramatic and aggressive journey that would immerse the public in an unforgettable experience.
Their first single “Filth Me Tonite” and first album “Your Mother” are now available.
