David Conklin's Punk Rock style comes together with Jared Markson's Bluesy, folk rock style, to create comedic acoustic genius.
At 2am on New Years Day, Jared Markson, David Conklin, Joe Loeffler, Frank Nowinski and Brenten Foote were over Jared's house, when the three guys challenged David and Jared to a contest to see who could write the best song in 15 minutes. In that short period of time, the two produced their first song "Kill Yourselves" which completely ruined the other guys chances of winning the contest. Proud of their victory, Jared and David went on to write many new songs...in 15 minutes. Thus, Brothers of the Head was conceived. Not too many people take a band composed of a couple 19 and 20 year old kids seriously...but if you've listened to our songs, we don't take ourselves very seriously either. Take our music for what it's worth. We have so much fun writing new songs, and joking around. We only hope that people will find us comical as well. Also, if you couldn't tell, we're not English and there is no real reason that we speak in English accents. We thought it would be funny I guess...don't question our genius.

Story behind the song
Jared started playing a simple chord progression: D, C, G, but with a capo on the seventh fret. I liked it a lot. All I had to do was put some bar chords on top that sounded right. I can't tell you how it turned into a song about hillbillies though...cuz I have no idea.
Lyrics
Well I woke up one morn' And went outside to hunt. Cuz shootin' innocent critters Is how I have my fun. I'll tell you, nothin' tastes better Than a possum in between a bun. So I woke up one evenin' And went into my room. And all I saw in there Was a stinky old broom. So I walked outside, And shot myself a coon. I went outside one day, And got inside my truck. When I was drivin' along I saw a little injured duck. So I went and Drove over that little fuck. Well I went outide one night After gettin' into a fight. Drank too much beer And beat the shit out of my wife. Then I taught my kids how to kill a deer With nothin' but a knife. And we don't even eat the things we kill. Cause it is roadkill where I get my thrill. No we don't even eat the things we kill. Cause I'm a hillbilly, and roadkill, That's where I get my thrill. Battered duck, little possum, even a toad. Nothin' sticks better to the road. Don't have to stink up the kitchen, You don't gotta cook 'em, You don't gotta put 'em in your oven, It's perfect. It's like a pre-made meal for the microwave... It's not really for the microwave...
