The Youngblood Brass Band's new album, Pax Volumi, is out today. The release perfectly showcases the nine piece ensemble's unique blend of hip hop, brass band, improv & punk music. The album comes in a busy year of touring, having played sold-out headlines across Europe and the USA.
Youngblood Brass Band flouts convention in an ecstatic, raucous, incendiary fashion, taking the form of a New Orleans brass band and morphing it into a punked-out hip-hop behemoth of groove and purpose. The ten-member ensemble, born in Madison, Wisconsin, now hails from all over the US (Madison, Brooklyn, Nashville, Minneapolis, Chicago) and has been unleashing their crash course in genre-bending on stages worldwide since 2000.
Their first album in 5 years sees the band partnering with Tru Thoughts, and the pairing couldn’t be more apt. This album sees the band finally achieving not just its musical but its production aims, capturing the live intensity of the stage as well as crafting beats and rhymes that bang right out of the speakers.
