The Teskey Brothers reflect on unexpected debut album success

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 22:32 · Archive

The Teskey Brothers say they were caught off guard by the international success of their debut album Half Mile Harvest, released in January 2017. Lead singer and guitarist Josh Teskey said it was 'a fairytale sort of moment' and 'a really pleasant, beautiful surprise'. The album peaked at number 18 on the ARIA album chart and reached number 49 on the Netherlands Dutch Album Top 100.

Brothers Josh and Sam formed the band in 2008 with longtime friends Brendon Love and Liam Gough. Before achieving recognition, they spent 'ten years or more' gigging around Victoria. Their first performances outside their home state came later in 2017. Josh and Sam began gigging together when they were 16 and 14 respectively. Sam studied sound engineering and handled technical setup at shows, while Josh took on a people-facing role, speaking to venue owners and other contacts.
