Though this North Carolina trio built a following through achy-string, mountain-creek emo, it was their decision to bring on Rick Rubin for the production of 2009's I and Love and You that really pushed the Brothers into the public eye. Longtime fans are split on whether the newfound success comes at the cost of the band's DIY roots, as the new album features lush string segments and organ fills. But don't worry; their live game is forever in the raw. (Gavin Paul)
