The Brothers Union is a four-piece alternative rock band from Central New Jersey. The band currently consists of Mike O’Reilly (guitar/vocals), Sean O’Reilly (bass/vocals), Alec Wagstaff (drums), and Tony Chrysanthopoulos (guitar).
The band originated with Mike O’Reilly after he departed from a previous garage/basement band in New Brunswick, NJ. Mike had a collection of songs in mind for a larger-sounding project and had always wanted to be in a band with his younger brother, Sean. With a three-year age difference, Mike and Sean grew up listening to and learning songs together from bands like Blink-182, The Beatles, Sublime, and Taking Back Sunday. Coming from a musical family, their bond was strengthened by their shared passion.
After a handful of releases including two full albums (Pain and the Opposite, Esoteric) and four EPs (Little Blue Room, Paper Hearts, Always Has Been, And Always Will Be), the band enlisted the help of producer Rob Chiarappa for crafting their next recording with singles dropping throughout 2026.
