The Brothers Comatose are, you’ll recall, actual brothers Ben and Alex Morrison (vocals, guitar and banjo) and their classically trained friend Philip Brezina on violin.

Good news – it’s also available to purchase via Bandcamp, just name your price.
And hey, psst, listen – there’s also a video, you can see it here, just don’t let the video editor know how you found it, ok? Cool. This conversation never happened.

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
