Are Banda AL9 the New Beatles?!

Today I'm reacting to two Brazilian brothers who are a band called Banda Al9. This might be a little unusual to do, but they seem to be garnering some attention online, particularly for the use of my special clapping sequence. What do you think? Are they the Brazilian Beatles? Would you listen to their songs?

Well done!👍 keep the clapping alive!👏👏...👏

[@KenpoKarate]

Ah... Os guri tão podendo!!! Além de Beatles, comparados a Beach Boys e The Mamas and the Papas. Parabéns!

[@i.a.n.x8720]

Meudels! Parabéns meninos 👏👏👏👏 agora vocês foram longe demais kikikiki

[@joaomanoelmartinez840]

Just a disclaimer here. In this song case “chama” is a verb and it’s a verbal flexion of the verb “chamar”, which means “call”. It may be confusing i know, but flame is the translation of the noun “chama”. So, “ela me chama de amor” can be translated to “she calls me love” lol

[@victorreis3030]

It's a quibble, a pun... right?

[@gregorycorte8409]

eu ia traduzir exatamente isso, o "chama" pode ser tanto chamar quanto chama de fogo, isso é uma coisa muito boa, porque a música faz você pensar nessas duas possibilidades

[@84kassiano]

It's a proposal double meaning.

[@izzalima1340]

AL9 já tem o coração do Brasil, agora na gringa também 😌❤️🇧🇷

[@EdCollects]

Hey man, I don't know if you'll actually see this or not, but thanks for letting me film on stage in Sacramento. It meant nothing to you but I'll remember it for the rest of my life. I didn't think it was possible to become a bigger fan of you and The Darkness, but that's what happened.

[@MashaT22]

That’s really awesome that he let you get a cool memory for life! That’s why we love Justin - he does neat stuff like that from what I’ve heard!

[@MrRuffun]

You looked like you were having a pretty good time that night! So fun to be on stage :- )

[@NoodleMutt]

I watched your video a couple days ago - excellent footage! What an unforgettable experience!

[@EdCollects]

@@NoodleMutt thank you! It was so much fun!

[@MetalmcBiff]

Oh that’s great! Reminds me a ton of The Hollies as well, with how the harmonies are layered. Wonderful to hear this kind of music being made

[@MashaT22]

Where did you find these guys?! Really cool. I don’t have to understand what they’re saying to appreciate it! Music is truly universal. They definitely have that 50’s vibe with a modern twist!

[@katttaylor5976]

That's how I felt about So. Korea's Broken Valentine

[@NoThisIsntMyChannel]

They have just released the English version of that song - just look it up on KZbin: She Calls Me Love - AL9

[@davidrocha1419]

Chama de amor is Flame of Love, and she's crazy for meeee! Is what there singing. Awesome videos as always. Loved meeting you and the band, VIP in San Francisco last week 🤘can't wait to see you guys again.

[@MarkFraserGrant]

It’s very very Beatles influenced. Undeniably so!

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Great vocals an harmonies. Love it! They really belt it out. Though I would be more inclined to compare their style to the likes of The Mamas and The Papas and other American folk singers in the era of peace and love.

[@ShiningHourPop]

They’re really good. I watched a few of their videos. Seeing as though one of them plays a Rickenbacker 325-12, another a Hofner Violin Bass and the other a “Rocky” George Harrison Fender Stratocaster, I think we can safely assume they’re big Beatles fans!

[@NinStardust]

Anyone else hearing an influence by The Mamas & The Papas here? Can definitely hear a hint of Lemon Twigs, The Beatles & The Ruttles too! Love the “straight jacket”, Jus! Very Nick Kershaw-esque. 🥰

[@k30sking]

Thanks for that reminder of ‘The Rutles’ had forgotten all about them, but I remember they were fun. Wish I had your memory. I will now pick up on the clapping routine, when I hear it in any song.

[@rcarletto2]

Hey Justing, thanks for sharing the Brazilian Beatles boys!

[@paulpalmer6151]

The song sounds like the song Do You Want to Know a Secret

[@cpurssey982]

Justin please do a collaboration with them. Your high notes would be the icing on the cake to their harmonies ❤.

[@emilybaker3703]

I didn't realise I'd need my sunglasses while watching Justin Hawkins. Such a bright top! 😎

[@ceciliadora]

Que tudo, eu não sabia da existência desse vídeo, amei!

[@Senna1861]

‘Chama’ has a double meaning in Portuguese, flame and call. The boys play on the words and it translates to something like this… She calls me love( flame of love) calls me her love… Ela me chama de amor (chama de amor), chama de amor Great to see you around again @Justin Hawkins🤙🎸

[@railroadingchris4446]

Justin, thanks for holding my hand in Phoenix! That picture was so funny.

[@user-ds9vh3gw1w]

Wow, The Rutles! Love Neil Innes' parodies of The Beatles. Brilliantly observed and reinterpreted. I must be in love could actually be a Fab Four track. How about reacting to one of their songs?

Oi 'ere Justin, you should watch That Thing You Do for a little bit of hand clappin', Beatleseque fun. Tom Hanks is in it, so you know it's good.

[@stephenhepworth3113]

In another universe, the Beatles form ( in Brazil of course) , two drop out then the remaining members write a song inspired after watching an imported boxset of the English soap opera Crossroads. And everybody lived happily ever after 👍

[@SVFresh2Salty]

Have you seen Scary Pockets funk version of “I believe in a thing called love”

[@stephgreen3070]

Like The “One-ders” Lol. Doing that thing you dooooo. Very 60s pop.

[@racesla]

Very reminiscent of the Lemon Twigs, great 60s pop sound.

[@MitzukiRose16]

This is very similar to the music video for Night Changes by One Direction! Hahah the whole POV date thing.

[@luizhenriqueramos5426]

In 3:00 you can clearly see this as different but pratically the same version of the intro of the song "Bad to me" by the Beatles. I definetly wouldn't call It a rip off because they have done a beautiful work out of an unreleased Beatles song.

[@Nick.Webster]

Are you sure they are from Brazil and not the AL9 postcode, which is Chalfont Saint Peter?

[@DennisViaSatellite]

The English version is awesome! They call "She calls me love"

[@gloriasmess]

Agree that this sounds very Rutles-esq. The Rutles was very clever and well observed. Although the Beatles were the most famous example, there were many bands of that type around at the time. All inspired by that jangly guitar/skiffle sound. Mr Tambourine Man is another example of that jangly guitar sound, when The Byrds covered it. The original Bob Dylan was less jangly and more…erm…Bob Dylan. Even Johnny Marr used a Telecaster to make that jangly guitar sound on lots of their hits. Most people think of This Charming Man as the obvious example, but JM used it a lot; Ask immediately comes to mind as an example. 20 years apart, that skiffle sound was still bouncing across the Atlantic and being used on hits. Back to the Rutles, at first look, I think it looks silly. Eric Idle did make it very Pythonesque, if you watch it again, scratch the surface it was very well written, as keenly observed as Spinal Tap, without the big budget and without being flashy. Anyway, that’s my essay on The guitar sound of The Rutles 😂.

[@BarbaraAntoinetteVeronica]

This is real good.

[@spiercephotography]

If you go a bit puffier with your hair like the Brazilian guys did, it might 'catch' the thing that flew off your guitar and prevent it from damaging your eye 😂 I'd not heard of these two before, they're kind of fun!

[@zombiedrummer4life]

These guys showed up on my instagram and I thought they rocked.

[@robfulton1307]

Hey Justin, got the Permission To Land CD box set today, and the sound is more compressed than the original. Why was it not remastered? Dynamic Range is 5 & the original CD was 6. Should be DR9 at least.

[@BarbaraAntoinetteVeronica]

You make me laugh. So funny. Have you heard a peacock call in the AM? It's hysterical sounding.

[@SuziQ.]

3:50 Sounds more like the Brazilian Beach Boys, but I can hear a bit of the Brazilian Beatles there, too. It’s not my cup of tea, but it’s not terrible. Why did your guitar attack your face? Did you just wake up?

[@RickReasonnz]

Brazilian Beach Boys does make more sense. An overall return to that part of the 60's, and good for them if you're in to that.

[@Dreyno]

It’s more Beatles to my ears. The grinding rhythm guitars with the trebly upstrokes and chiming appregiated bits with the strong backbeat and short guitar solo. And the Lennon-esque raspy vocal. Perfect pastiche of the Beatles.

[@glynmillward8610]
