Brother Firetribe is a Finnish hard rock band. They take their name from a direct English translation of the name of the former professional tennis player Veli Paloheimo. The name is a reference to an in-joke, where the perfect description for their music is ‘tennis heavy metal’. Their first album False Metal was released in 2006, it was later re-issued as Break Out.

Brother Firetribe — финская AOR-группа, образованная в 2002 году. Музыканты описывают свой стиль как «беззаботный рок» (easy going rock). Первоначально коллектив назывался False Metal в честь слогана группы Manowar «Death to False Metal» (Смерть фальшивому металу). Нынешнее название родилось из шутки о том, что идеальным описанием их музыки является «теннис-хеви»; участники взяли имя известного финского теннисиста Вели Палохеймо и перевели его на английский язык. В честь прежнего имени они назвали свой первый альбом, выпущенный в 2006 году на Spinefarm Records. Два года спустя вышел второй студийный альбом Heart Full of Fire, а дебютная пластинка была переиздана под названием Break Out.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
