Buzz: The Black Keys’ Brothers

The two-part blues rock combination known as The Black Keys released album number 6 this May, a gritty, filthy, White-Stripes-esque stumbling of a rock n’ roll record called “Brothers.” This is new-world Southern rock – if Johnny Cash was steady like a train, then The Black Keys are persistently jolty like a greyhound bus.

Watch out for singles like “Next Girl” and “Tighten Up,” as the boys from Akron, OH smash the “Southern” right out of Southern Rock. As front-man Dan Auerbach tells AP Magazine, “We make music for hipster strippers.”
