On We Are Austin, Sierra Waggoner welcomed brothers Torrence Thomas and Thurman Thomas of The Bros Fresh to discuss the inspiration behind their newest project, their creative process and the journey that has taken them from singing in church to performing on stages across the country.<\/p>\n

After nearly two years in the making, the brothers said Still Want You the Same represents one of their most meaningful projects to date.<\/p>\n

“Our latest album, Still Want You the Same, is out now and available anywhere you like to listen to music,” Thomas said. “It’s been a labor of love for us this last year and a half\u2014almost two years. When you put so much work into something, you’re just so happy to finally release it into the world.”<\/p>\n

“Our latest album, Still Want You the Same, is out now and available anywhere you like to listen to music,” Thomas said. “It’s been a labor of love for us this last year and a half\u2014almost two years. When you put so much work into something, you’re just so happy to finally release it into the world.”<\/p>\n

The album also marks a season of reflection for the duo. After spending the last several years building their careers in Austin, they found themselves looking back at where they started in order to move forward creatively.<\/p>\n

“With this project, we had to go back to go forward,” Thomas said. “Austin has helped launch our careers in the best ways, but it’s also shaped us as humans. As we grow and mature, this was a necessary step creatively and personally.”<\/p>\n

That mindset became the foundation for the record.<\/p>\n

The songwriting process became just as much about self-discovery as it was creating music.<\/p>\n

“You can’t neglect the foundation when you’re building,” Thomas said. “In order to build tall, you have to go deep. This album was part of that digging\u2014figuring out what makes us who we are and what’s going to help us keep pushing forward.”<\/p>\n

The songwriting process became just as much about self-discovery as it was creating music.<\/p>\n

“Some of those songwriting sessions honestly turned into discovery sessions,” Thomas said. “We cried tears, worked through frustrations and experienced every emotion you can imagine. Going through all of that made us realize we were creating something really special.”<\/p>\n

For listeners diving into the album for the first time, the brothers have a few recommendations.<\/p>\n

Thomas suggests beginning with “Rush to Paradise,” the album’s opening track, before listening from start to finish. For fans wanting something completely different, he recommends “Welcome Connection.”<\/p>\n

“It’s the rawest demo version of a song,” Thomas said. “We loved it so much that we knew we had to leave it exactly the way it was because there was so much magic and character in those original takes.”<\/p>\n

Long before recording albums, however, music was already woven into the brothers’ lives. Growing up singing together in church laid the groundwork for everything they’ve accomplished today.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been playing together for almost 20 years,” Thomas said. “Church was the place where we sharpened our skills, learned music theory, learned how to play together as an ensemble and really built the foundation to become professionals.”<\/p>\n

Those early experiences, they said, taught them lessons that still guide their performances today.<\/p>\n

“It looks easy now because we spent so much time making mistakes, learning and falling on our faces back then,” Thomas said.<\/p>\n

Since relocating to Austin more than four years ago, the brothers say the city’s welcoming music community has played a major role in their continued growth.<\/p>\n

“Moving to Austin has been one of the best decisions of our adult lives, without a doubt,” Thomas said.<\/p>\n

With a new album now streaming, The Bros Fresh<\/a> are preparing to take their music on the road. Their tour kicks off in late August in their home state of Louisiana before making stops throughout Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas\u2014including a return performance in Austin.<\/p>\n
