Close your eyes... picture where you were the first time that you heard that really, really great song... the first one that comes to mind - the song with the jangling guitars, pounding drums, thumping bass, moaning organ, thick vocal harmonies, and the lyrics that spoke directly to you. The one that changed your life. The song, that every time you hear it, takes you back to a memory, a feeling, a love, a loss, an amazing moment time...

Open your eyes and fast forward five, ten, fifteen or maybe even thirty years (or more).... the Brother Bicker Band is trying to recapture that memory, that feeling, that love, that loss and that amazing moment in time with every song that they play, original or cover.

Featuring Taylor Miles on drums, Jim Duncan on bass, Jeremy Hrdlicka on vocals and acoustic guitar, Tom Mogan on guitar and vocals, Ben Ellard on keys and newcomers, Jennele Coulson and Claire Wilkes on vocals, these seven friends and band mates bring a unique and refreshing tak...

It has a touch of sweetness and is uniquely Canadian. And like whiskey, the more you indulge, the more fun you have and the better you feel....and if you have too much you just may forget everything.

  • “Rocky Mountain Christmas Cancer Fundraiser Profile Calgary Eyeopener with Loren McGinnis, Angela Knight”
    Mackenzie Meyer, CBC Radio Calgary Eyeopener
  • "The objective was to give Brother Bicker the sort of unhinged, shouty harmonizing found on songs such as the Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter. It’s just one of the influences that shines through on Another Kind of Train, which finds the band’s two main songwriters mining a similar soulful country and rock territory similar to the Black Crowes and Tom Petty and the twangier/bluesier moments of Bruce Springsteen. Tunes such as the rollicking, blues-leaning I Just Might, funky-blues of No Straight Lines and slow-building ballad Bottles suggest the seven-piece act is adept at negotiating a number of roots sub-genres. Many of the songs on the album, which includes a reverent run through The Greg Kihn Band’s power-pop 1981 gem The Breakup Song, sound custom-built for the stage."
    Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald
  • "Another Kind of Train' ... is a very well-produced album, crispy, sleek and well-polished, but an album can be polished up the high, it means nothing is the songs are not there, and this album flows with a grand taste of elegance.
    Nicky Baldrian, Power Play Rock & Metal Magazine, Issue 270, Pass Code SD11
