BRODEQUIN come with a long and sordid history. Jamie and Mike Bailey have been banging people’s heads together since 1998. Their first album catapulted the brothers far beyond their kingdom of Knoxville, Tennessee.

After 20 years, BRODEQUIN are returning with a new album, “Harbinger Of Woe”. The band’s fourth album lives up to their namesake by releasing the music video for the song “Of Pillars And Trees”.

Mike Bailey says about “Of Pillars And Trees”:

“Of Pillars and Trees” branches out into new territory for the band. The creation process started out much like any other BRODEQUIN track. It wasn’t until the mid-section came together that it began to diverge. I wanted to slow things down a bit but add some depth with multiple guitar tracks instead of just droning a single riff. As the layers were being written, I kept hearing a synth pattern in my head. But instead of using an actual synth, I recreated what I was hearing on my guitar, using plenty of reverb and delay to get the tone as close to what I was imagining as possible.”

Jamie Bailey explains:

“As with every BRODEQUIN song, “Of Pillars and Trees” is rooted in real events. This song finds its inspiration in the historical practices that involved the utilization of trees for the purpose of torture and execution. Among the myriad methods employed, a prominent example was the affixing of an individual to a pillar, or, more commonly, a tree trunk, through the use of long iron nails.”

BRODEQUIN upcoming album “Harbinger of Woe” came out on March 22nd, 2024.
