Bolland, later Bolland & Bolland, were two brothers band, and "You are in the army now" was NOT (wow!) their only song.

An album by brothers Rob and Ferdy Bolland, released in 1981. The brothers were not only the authors of all the songs, but also the producers of the album. Not appreciated after its release, this anti-war album became "one of the best concept albums of the 1980s."
The album is named after a term from Western political theory during the Cold War. Domino theory says that one change entails a linear series of other changes, similar to how domino dice fall. In the 1950s and 1960s, the United States feared that the spread of communism in Southeast Asia could spread to the entire region and even to Australia. It was with the domino effect in mind that the American leadership decided to intervene in the Vietnam War.
The Bolland brothers composed a mini rock opera, which also became "a real collection of pop songs." With the first song, "You're In The Army Now", a kind of anthem, the Bolland brothers embark on a journey through the waves of the New wave. The Status Quo will sing it later. "The Dogs of War", "Heart of Darkness" and "Heaven Can Wait" are pure pop, while "Cambodia Moon" and "To the Battleground" have already seen a clear shift towards balladry. "Overture" and "Finale" speak to the integrity of the album.
The sharp and melodic album, sung on behalf of an infantryman, takes a critical look at the Cold War and the international interventions of the United States. "You're In The Army Now" became a minor hit: in the Bollands' homeland of South Africa, it reached number nine in May 1982. The success was partly helped by the fact that South Africa had universal military service at that time.

"Brotherhood" by Bolland & Bolland is a dynamic fusion of 80s pop rock, synthesizers and upbeat rhythms, reflecting the best trends of the era. The album combines energetic melodies with electronic rock, while maintaining an infectious atmosphere. The combination of synthpop music and strong vocals creates a nostalgic, but at the same time powerful impression. Each track features impeccable sound, rich in both electronic instruments and catchy melodies, which confirms the duo's talent in creating timeless pop anthems.
From the piercing rhythms of "Shoot The Moon" to the emotional depth of "Tears Of Ice", the album reveals a range of moods while maintaining high energy. Bonus tracks such as "Jimmy Jimmy (Voices)" and "Valery" add value to the album by offering a deeper narrative and introspective lyrics. Whether you like synthesizer beats or melodic rock ballads, "Brotherhood" is just what fans of the 80s soundscape need.
