I just want to get a little history on the Brooksite. How did you guys come together?
Who is who in the band? Victor and Nick wanted to started a new heavy band, they were both previously in a melodic hardcore/rock band called Galilei, which was pretty successful on long island. Victor plays guitar, Nick plays bass, Lumpy plays guitar, Colin is the vocalist and Corey is the drummer

It’s not hard to notice that metallic hardcore is on the rise nowadays. How do think your band fits into the scene? Why people should give it a listen?
We fit into the scene because were just a bunch of friends in a hardcore band just trying to have a good time and have a true understanding for what hardcore really is, hence why people should listen to us.
