“BROTHER” EP OUT TODAY ON ASTRALWERKS

“BROTHER” OFFICIAL VIDEO SURPASSES 1.8M VIEWS

Berlin-based rock outfit Mighty Oaks release its “Brother” EP today on Astralwerks in preparation for its upcoming U.S. shows in Los Angeles (October 15th at No Vacancy) and New York City during the CMJ Music Marathon taking place later this month.

The trio of international musicians – Ian Hooper (US), Claudio Donzelli (Italy), and Craig Saunders (UK) – brings a uniquely global perspective to American roots rock. Three-part vocal harmonies, acoustic guitars, and mandolins are the core of Mighty Oaks songs. Smooth bass lines and simple drums are the heartbeat of its sound with driving electric guitars adding depth as front-man Ian Hooper layers lyrics both melancholy and hopeful atop rustic refrains that call to mind the Pacific Northwest of the Seattle native’s birthplace.

Formed in 2010 in Berlin, Mighty Oaks have already shared the stage with acts such as Chrvches, The Lumineers, Kings of Leon, and Shout Out Louds, sold out its very first tour across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and saw its international debut album “Howl” reach #1 on Germany’s iTunes chart with top-10 chart positions in Norway, Switzerland, and Austria.

Check out a live video of the band’s breakout single and EP title-track “Brother” Live At Montreaux Jazz Festival here and stay tuned for details on an upcoming album due out 2015.
