German Shepherd
|
German Shepherd is the devilish duo Andrew Newton and Geoffrey Newton. The brothers say their writing reveals a lifetime of influences—everything from My Chemical Romance to the Backstreet Boys to Weird Al Yankovic (with whom the band recently shared the stage at New Jersey’s Bamboozle festival). Still, what you really hear from German Shepherd is the sound of two young musicians finding their own voice—their own distinctive blend of Geoffrey's R&B vocals and Andrew's love of danceable beats.
Remarkably eclectic yet bound together by the brothers’ trademark harmony vocals, their sound is the natural result of the wild times the Newtons have experienced lately. After spending much of 2006 supporting their debut on the road with tween-scene heavyweights such as Jesse McCartney, the Veronicas and Aly & AJ, the brothers found themselves reaching a new audience earlier this year when the Disney Channel put the band’s Year 2000 video into heavy rotation. “As soon as that happened, the song entered the Top 10 on iTunes and our MySpace comments doubled,” Andrew marvels. “It was almost impossible to keep up with the new friend requests!”
