The REO Brothers is a band made up of four brothers from Tacloban City, Philippines. They have risen to fame online for their great classic rock, pop, and pop-rock covers.
The band has stated that they love to play music from the sixties, and their main focus is The Beatles. When listening to them play, you can hear that influence.
On their YouTube channel, the REO Brothers state that even though they have seen tragedy in their lives, being victims and survivors of the Super Typhoon Yolanda, music has opened up many opportunities.
The band of brothers became famous after performing on ABS-CBN in the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines. The Christmas concert featured many world-renowned celebrities, but the brothers were the only ones to be praised with a standing ovation.
In the video, the REO Brothers perform a cover of the song ‘New kid in town’ by the Eagles, an American rock band that rose to fame in the 1970s.
Alongside the four musicians is their youngest brother Roy Mark playing the keys. They have seemingly used the song’s name to promote that there’s a new kid in the band.
The video has over 3 million views and more than 49 thousand likes on their YouTube channel. Commentators have praised the pure harmony that the brothers have while playing together as a band.
