BROKOF is an alternative folk-rock band based in Berlin, Germany. The 4-piece released debut “Softly, Softly, Catchee
Monkey” in 2010. Sophomore album “Side by Side” (LP, 2012) opened the bands work to a wider audience and shortly
got them nick-named Spree-Beatles. „Put simply: in Brokof, one of Germany’s most interesting folk-rock bands awaits
discovery. “wrote STERN.
With “Eviction Notice” (EP, 2015) the band offered a first glimpse of third album “Cool Fame” (LP, 2016) and toured
Europe with the EP as a giveaway to their fans. The ROLLING STONE saw the album related to the work of CSNY and
The Who and called it „plain and beautiful”.
A year later BROKOF & RANDOM WILLSON released “Brother Equal” (LP, 2017), a collaboration with a friend, the
American singer/songwriter Greg Northrop, who wrote most of the songs on the recording.
“Fore!“(LP, 2018) was „yet another fantastic release by Brokof: This time, the Berlin four-piece is shaping a more
distorted and less romantic version of their Folk-Rock, at the same time everything sways wonderfully, disregarding the
outcome; the small form beats the large gesture, Jeff Tweedy style. Again, one can hear how well Brokof play together,
allowing the arrangements to breathe, instead of pinning them to the ground…" ROLLING STONE
As the four bandmembers are also owners of POPSCHUTZ-STUDIO in Berlin (bands like MC5, Lambchop and many,
many more recorded here), the pandemic of 2020 had them have their studio all to themselves. What followed was a
creative seclusion, the band enjoyed. Suddenly they had time on their hands and no one to tell them what to do.
They didn’t exactly plan on making a new album yet, but many of the songs on “Blind Spot on The Bright Side of Life”
(LP, 2024) originate from that period.
With the six-minute single “Share”, followed up by another single “Not at all” (a song that was some twenty years in
the making) the band announced their return to society and started playing live again. A couple more singles followed,
while the band finished the work on “Blind Spot on The Bright Side of Life”, their fifth album, scheduled for March 15,
2024, out on Vinyl and Digital.
