Being in a band wit your brother always seems like it could end in disaster. The constant bickering over who gets to watch what shows, the petty crimes of stealing one’s sock and the other’s last chip. When a band of brother’s works together however it's sensational... just take a look at DISCLOSURE .

I took a walk late at night last weekend. I intended to escape the killer night lights that are all too prevalent in this part of the world. I walked to the point where the glow faded into faint slivers of paint in an other wise pitch perfect sky. It is the point where a road drifts to nowhere. I thought I was alone. But tucked off in the back pasture, almost invisible to naked eye, was a badly torn up van. I could see movements inside. I figured I should check things out, see if anyone was in distress. [...]

'Part Of The Echoes' is vast and grandiose, making an impact with urgent vocals [...]
