Hello there fellow brutes. And goodbye. After 4 years we are done. It has been a great run, and immensely fun for us but time to move on. We would like to thank all of our fans, followers and supporters and friends who have stood by us. The website is being taken down tomorrow, so there’s a bit of time to still check it out if you like.

Special thanks to our creator and founder, lead vocalist Josh of Trashed Ambulance for his work as creator and prez during the formative years of BRD, without him it would never been possible.

And thank you to remaining members Joshua Wiebe Parker Yates and Azreal Kritten for seeing us to the end, your hard work and support and creating stellar content for all to enjoy. As always, thank you everyone and stay brilliant, stay blessed, and stay brutal.
