Every now and then, something comes along that is so epic and brilliant that it makes us question everything we’ve ever listened to.

With Harry And The Potters, we’re sticking our necks out to say that they are one of the most ace bands we’ve come across in a long time. We were a bit sceptical when we heard their band name, but please don’t let this put you off.

In theory, all bands should steal their names from books if they couldn’t be bothered to get creative. But with Harry And The Potters, the name is a very important aspect to them. You see, all of their songs revolve around little wizard boy Harry Potter. All of their songs are based on the adventures of the character and everything connected to him. Despite our slight dislike of Harry Potter, we have to admire them.

Now we’d call it geek rock at its finest, but the sound created by the two brothers even has it’s own proper name. From what we gather, it’s been dubbed Wizard Rock and could easily be the wacky idea that The Flaming Lips came up with. But we have to let the band explain the project themselves:

“Imagine if Harry Potter quit the quidditch team and started a punk rock band. Take that one step further and imagine that he stole a time-turner and decided to start that band with himself from a different point in time. Imagine that band could exist without compromising themselves. Imagine that they are able to operate completely independently, without managers, booking agents, recording budgets, publicists, record labels, or anything aside from a sense of enthusiasm and a desire to have fun.”

We don’t understand it, but we seem to enjoy it.
