Hey, have you heard of For You Brother? Yeah right, I know, it sounds familiar to you, and that is because we got the chance to listen to one of their songs titled ‘America’. For You Brother is this killer rock duo from South Carolina that’s been blowing up lately. I stumbled across their new single “Rock My World” and I can’t stop playing it.
These guys, Jon Dash and Deep Soul School, are doing something pretty cool – mixing that classic glam rock vibe with some funky beats. It’s like Lenny Kravitz met Van Halen and decided to jam together. The way they blend nostalgia with modern sounds is seriously impressive.
Behind the Rhythms: For You Brother on Their Latest Hit ‘America’
“Rock My World” is straight-up addictive. The hooks are catchy as hell and the instrumentation packs a punch. I heard they recorded it at a place called Dizzleland USA (cool name, right?) and got this guy Shawn Guess to mix it. Apparently, the song’s about some woman who really left an impression on them – you can feel that energy in every note.
I’m telling you, whether you’re a die-hard rock fan or just getting into the genre, For You Brother is worth checking out. I’m curious to learn more about their story and what they’ve got planned next. Maybe we should try to catch one of their shows if they come through town?

The Genesis of For You Brother
Came to be as a Movie ” Who’s Your Caddy ” was filmed at my house. The Executive Mansion in the movie. I was asked to write a song for the movie.
