THE last time the Echo featured the new wave rock trio D.M.O - who have since changed their name to Loyal Brothers - they had just got signed to Epictronic, an Italian record label operating closely with Warner Chapel Music, and were doing well in Europe.

Now Loyal Brothers have just release the first single - She Lost Control - off their debut, self titled album.

The single is available on all major platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Deezer, while the album will be out on Friday, June 1, in Milan.

It was recorded at Realsound Studios in Parma, Italy and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road studios, London.

Loyal Brothers - Alex Bourner (drums and keys), Dean M Oldfield (vocals, songwriter, keys), and Jack Hollister, (guitar, bass and backing vocals) - all hail from Basildon, Essex.

Formed in 2013, they almost immediately formed a strong fanbase, performing gigs in the UK and also across Europe including Italy (Milan, Rome), Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Munich) and Switzerland (Lugano). They were particularly popular in Germany, performing their own music, bringing together influences from many other bands including Kasabian, ?the Rolling Stones, Editors, ?INXS, Interpol and ?Depeche mode.

The band have since continued to climb, and have been featured in a number of national and international newspapers and on many radio stations including BBC Essex Introducing.

The name change from D.M.O to Loyal Brothers in May 2017.

Under the name D.M.O, the band released their debut EP Blacklisted in March 2015, which received positive reviews and charted in the iTunes top 100 new releases chart in several European countries and also the USA, which was then followed by a single and then a second EP.
