New Zealand group Brother Love began in 1993, initially as a solo project of songwriter Martin Henderson, (also of Space Dust ) and at that point just out of The Axel Grinders). All received healthy press coverage and widespread distribution through Forced Exposure and Drag City, among others. In 1996 the group first toured to the US, playing San Francisco (in store at Aquarius, live to air on KFJC, and live at the Bottom Of The Hill), Minneapolis and New York (the Knitting Factory) among other places, sharing bills with a variety of US groups including Barbara Manning, Bardo Pond, Bloodloss, Tono-Bungay and the No Neck Blues Band.

This is a group who have always mixed well-crafted songs with a fresh punk attitude and a willingness to explore which sees them crossing genre boundaries like they never existed. In the course of their development, they have been compared to everything from Human Instinct and Jimi Hendrix, to Sonic Youth and Sebadoh, to The Clean and Split Enz.
