Alternative reggae band from Medan, Indonesia.

From fun to serious, maybe that's the right word to describe this band. Starting from a Vespa community that planned to hold an activity, an idea emerged to enliven the event with a musical performance. M. Sofwan or who is usually called Opan Gobank took the initiative to invite several colleagues to form a band as performers. Fun but serious is illustrated by the creation of the first song as a band called Broderhoodband when it first appeared at an event. Writing the band's name with Broderhoodband instead of brotherhoodband is their intention so that in search engines like Google, the name Broderhood will still refer to this band. The Vespa Dansa song is their first song as well as their mainstay in every Vespa community meeting in Medan.

The band that was formed in February 2018 is of the Alternative Reggae genre with a touch, skinhead, punk, rock, and pop. It reflects the background music of each personnel which gives its color in the songs created by Broderhoodband. Although newly formed, some personnel such as the drummer already have a punk band before, and also a guitarist who always carries his 7-string guitar. The skinhead drum beats and the distortion effect of the guitar blend into the band's reggae vocals.

Broderhood consists of 4 members with Ali Alamsyah Harahap (Alam) on vocals, M. Topan Febrian (Mamer) on bass, Ibnu Avena Matondang (Jim Lepod) on guitar, and M. Sofwan (Opan Gobank) on drums has produced several songs. Broderhood has also released a mini-album entitled Paradox which contains six songs, namely Vespa Dansa, Falling in Love, Kembali Pulang (Returning Home), Dejavu, Ku Ingin Bernyanyi, and Mary. One of the works of a band is to compose their songs and Broderhood packs them in a mini album in the form of a cassette tape.

In addition to the six songs, Broderhood also has a song as a form of concern and movement from a reggae band about the destruction of the environment, entitled "Save the Sumatran Rhino", as a form of concern about the Sumatran rhino population which is on the verge of extinction.
