БРОМ / [Br]om plays its own mixture of genres, combining avant-jazz with punk. It is strong and structured music, they call it "no jazz" or "jazz punk". "Brom is still staying as Eye Nebula not fitting to any genre attributes" (с) Dmitry Ukhov.

Guys play with lots of different bands, prefer playing with noise bands also, garage and avant-garde bands. They really made lots of live collaborations and the first time I saw them it was a ground breaking show with Moscow stoner-doom idols The Moon Mistress. Brom shows are electric or acoustic line up, no matter how they bring you some structure feeling that you want to keep in mind, and this is a bad idea if you try to check the next band in the evening after catching that structure. Bon apetite, bro. This is second official album and the last one with electric line up, now guys play only in acoustics: Konstantin Sukhan (trumpet), Anton Ponomarev (baritone sax) and Dmitry Lapshin (double bass). Listen to their new line up here on "Concert for Friends" live album: http://brom.bandcamp.com/album/concert-for-friends . The album with this new line up is already recorded and ready to be released in the nearest time this year!

Brom on FB: https://facebook.com/brom.band Nebula also released on Fancy Music Records [FANCY035] with alternative cover art. "Brom" undoubtedly is perfectly co-ordinated, every musician feels each other. All this allow musicians to develop such an unusual style to which no one goes and appeals in Russia. The style built on a clear riff structure with floating melodic line with sound strokes (sometimes separated, sometimes even unrelated) drifting apart or forming distinct structural composition. Alexey Kruglov.
