"As you can see these guys are not afraid to take real life, real hurt, real pain and real fear into their work. They breathe life into each of their songs from the depths of their souls. They give you a glimpse into the very life that others are forced to live each day. They make you think, feel and imagine." - Center Stage Magazine
“It seems like every new metal release these days is trendier and more genre-defined than the last. Progressive metalcore, symphonic stoner sludge, melodic ambi-djent…you name it, someone’s recording it in their bedroom. On their new EP, “This Side of Sanity,” the yet-unsigned Fools’ Brew bucks the trend and unapologetically delivers a double-fisted, distinctively American, heavy fuckin’ metal album. With a throwback mid-2000s sound that never sounds forced or false, Fools’ Brew is a breath of fresh air in an oversatured modern metal scene... " - Real Metal Reviews
"The Parade by Fools' Brew is a pure adrenaline rush, from the charged up guitar riffs to the rage of the drums. Great song to release your inner rage, to energize from within, and to conquer whatever stands in your path." - Doug "Rawk Dawg" Russ

Bio
FOOLS' BREW is on a mission to tear up every stage they play with straightforward, beer-soaked, Midwest-bred metal. The Chicago four-piece cut their teeth playing bars and clubs all around Chicago, Joliet, and northwest Indiana. In the early months of 2012 they rocked The Rave in Milwaukee while opening for Korn. 2013 saw the FOOLS win the Chicago Battle of the Bands at Reggie's Rock Club, play the main stage at Congress Theater, and headline shows at Goose Island Wrigleyville and Reggie's. This year, behind their newly released EP, "THIS SIDE OF SANITY", they've showcased their raucous live set across the Midwest playing venues in Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and Bloomington; opened for Kyng, Kill Devil Hill, Soulfly, Butcher Babies, and Upon A Burning Body; and packed shows back home at Reggie's, Martyr's, and Mojoes among others. In 2015 the FOOLS have partnered up with BlankTV and joined the family of Coldcock Whiskey sponsored artists. The word is spreading, heads are turning, and faces are melting. The future looks bright, because this band is on fire.
