The Britemores

 

Nearly 30 years in the making, The

 Britemores is a collaborative effort

 featuring long-time Detroit musical

 allies Johnny Chan (New Dynasty 6,

 Split Signals), Jeff Meier (Detroit

Cobras/Rocket 455/Nathaniel

Mayer/Gino Washington), Jerry

Barterian (Onset, Hysteric Narcotics)

and Will Lorenz (aka “the kid”).

 

Comprised of myriad styles and

 influences, The Britemores’ music

gives a thoughtful, greasy nod to

Detroit garage/punk legends

through memorable guitar hooks

 while cleansing their audience’s

 musical palate with soft-spoken,

 heartfelt ballads that even their

 mothers approve of.

 

The Britemores have played

 countless local shows in addition to

 shows at venues like the Beachland

 Ballroom in Cleveland and The

Bowery Electric in New York City.

Chan, a former resident of New

York City, exemplifies the roughness

 of city-life in songs like Grand River,

 unrequited love in songs like Words

 In The Air and Shot Down Again, and

 distinct rock anthems like I’m Sick

 Of You and You’re So Great.

 

The Britemores should not be

 pigeonholed into any certain genre,

 and their debut full-length LP

co-produced by Meier and

award-winning producer Mike E.

Clark (Insane Clown Posse, Kid

Rock) should prove this to anyone.
