BIO:
Straight outta Canada's capital, Ottawa Ontario, Hellbros are anything but a bunch of latte sipping civil servants. Instead they spend their time crafting loud, belligerent rock n roll with heaps of attitude. Brothers
Peter Jurt (vocals, guitar) & Christian Jurt (guitar) along with childhood friends Josh Roy (drums, vocals) and Mat 'Spag' Collins (bass, vocals) create the high-energy quartet that blast out "loud, wild and heavy, excellent stuff as you'd like to point your bucket of beer to the sky while screaming and shouting alongside brothers and sisters during a nightly wild party" - Metal To Infinity
2015 began a great year for the Hellbros, they signed with Bad Reputation Records (Fr) and released their 3rd album, 'Self Titled', on
September 15th in Europe. A follow up to their debut full length album 'Goodtime Machine', which took home the fan voted best rock/hard rock album of the year in the 2012 Independent
Music Awards. They once again teamed up with engineer and co-producer Dean Hadjichristou and mixer Riccardo 'Paso' Pasini for this album.
November 2015 Hellbros released an unofficial anthem during the Grey Cup week for the Ottawa Redblacks CFL football team. The song entitled, "We're All Redblacks" was debuted on TSN1200 radio. "Pretty strong effort!, well sung, well performed." - JR TGOR Show The song was also picked up by Ottawa's Classic Rock station Chez 106.1 - "Hellbros getting us all in the mood for the Ottawa Redblacks game!" - Woody (Chez 106)
In June 2016 Hellbros will head overseas for a run of shows in
Europe that bring them through Belgium, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany & the Netherlands. Just like Hellbros latest album their shows will start off with a "hardrock-like 'heeeeeell yeaaah!'" and just like it does on their album it will set the tone for the rest of the show. So hold on to your butts.
