Pernikoff Brothers

"Thanks in part to these new avenues for promotion and distribution, artists no longer need to sign to a record label to make a living in music.Just ask St. Louis' Pernikoff Brothers, Tom and Rick, whose DIY, crowd-sourced site Tunespeak allows users to earn royalties on record sales for helping to spread their latest musical discovery's viral distribution. On Tunespeak, fans share song links to a band's profile on social networks like Facebook or Twitter. Following the link gets you a seven-day stream of an album, with the hope that a purchase will follow. When enough purchases do (as in three), the poster gets a respectable cut. Think of it as sort of an inverted Kickstarter — the crowd-sourced project-financing site artists are now regularly using to fund their endeavors." - Nashville Scene

"The Brothers play a sweet blend of catchy, up-tempo folk pop drenched in two and three part harmonies. Their playing tonight was top notch with Tom’s guitar work shining brightly above the rhythm section. As great as the playing was, the vocals are what really stole the show. All three have excellent voices and the harmonies were on the mark and tight without sounding unemotional and over-rehearsed." - KDHX.org

"Pernikoff Brothers have crafted a deep and diverse collection of intelligent indie rock with their debut album, On My Way. It nods to The Beatles and Dave Matthews Band at all the right moments, but there's a personal passion fueling the music that's distinctly theirs. Gorgeous melodies rise and fall like waves with intricate instrumental passages expanding the sound into classic territory. On My Way is just what indie rock needed…However, Pernikoff Brothers' genius extends past the music. The group have created their very own social media and marketing service called Tunespeak where fans will get paid by the Brothers when they get their friends to purchase On My Way. That's about as far outside of the box as it gets, and it's bound to spark a revolution." - Artistdirect.com
