Focus: The Brother Moves On is a movement that is uncomfortable in the world of reference.” Perhaps this, too, explains the band’s sound – part jazz, part rock, part alternative. Their many influences culminate in something raw and eclectic. Founded by vocalist and songwriter Siya Mthembu, the group has been on the South African music scene for close to 10 years.

Most recently, the band came together to present their newest album $/he Who Feeds You...Owns You(link is external), which was released on indie label Native Rebel Recordings. There is a feeling of urgency in some of the compositions, a tension that is propelled by voices, guitar, drums and bass. The horn lines add colour and sophistication, offering a response to a call to action.
