Hellbros a band of brothers literally, Peter Jurt (vocals/guitars) and Christian Jurt (guitars) came together to make this band happen with childhood friends Josh Roy (drums/vocals) and Mat "Spag" Collins (bass/vocals). Through the years they have played shows, toured, and released material. During the summer though, where they would play an array of festivals, they would also create all new music, in the form of a new song, made single, turned video for a little track titled "Feed It", set to come off their next full-length album "Take The Animal" due in time come 2018.

9. What is the concept behind the video for "Feed It", how did it all come together with the video game appeal?
Peter: Well we have this friend Petr Maur who is an awesome dude and great filmmaker and he makes these rad laser guns because he's also a mad scientist of sorts like Rick from Rick and Morty and we invited him over to our farm to and he made us run and run and run and shoot at imaginary enemies in the skies which later became video game characters.
