Brother's Keeper (band)
Brother's Keeper was an American metalcore band from Erie, Pennsylvania.

History 
Formed in 1994 by members of a number of other local bands, Brother's Keeper became the backbone of the Erie hardcore punk and metalcore scene. Alongside bands like xDISCIPLEx A.D., Digression and Neverfall, they created a local community of youth bonded by a common musical interest. Brother's Keeper's sound stood out due to the unique vocal style of Mike Ski.

The band released five CDs as well as a number of 7" records. From 1996 through their breakup in 2003, they were signed to Trustkill Records, although in early 2001 they appeared on the various artists compilation It's All About The Money, co-released by Schauffele's own label Surprise Attack Records, Goodfellow Records and Redstar Records.
