Following a busy festival season, the high-impact, cutting-edge collective The Brass Funkeys released their brand-new EP “More Is More” last week and we are super excited to share it with you. We had this EP on repeat all morning today and seems we can’t get enough of it.
The EP features 4 tracks, and it’s one of the best projects we’ve heard in months. The atmosphere of this project is unique and the production style is creative, solid and brought this EP to a whole new level. We listened to these tracks several times, and we still can’t find the right words to describe them. Their instrumentals are incredibly memorable and really some good stuff to listen to all day long. The Brass Funkeys is a talented band and their music is different, original and set them apart from the crowd. They bring a great variety of styles and tastes to their music that will not only demand your attention but keep coming back for more, you will want to listen over and over again.
We love what The Brass Funkeys brought to the table today, and we’re super excited to hear what other tracks have up their sleeve. But until that happens, we’ll just have to keep “More Is More” on repeat. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. If you like the EP, spread the word and share it with your friends. Don’t forget to follow The Brass Funkeys online to stay up to date on any future releases!
ABOUT THE BAND:
The Brass Funkeys are a trailblazer in the new generation of UK Brass Bands. Formed in 2011, this 9-piece collective has a unique sound forged from their strong personalities and eclectic individual tastes, whilst still paying homage to their New Orleans Brass Band roots. The Brass Funkeys have honed their skills over 10 years playing the club and festival circuits in the UK and Europe, always exploring new musical directions while refining their exciting, eclectic and energetic live show, bursting at the seams with ideas and infectious energy.
The Brass Funkeys frequently appear on festival main stages (Glastonbury, Boomtown, Wilderness, Lost Village, Love Supreme, North Sea Jazz Festival) as well as performing at world renowned venues (Ronnie Scott’s, Koko, Cambridge Corn Exchange).
After the cancellation of dozens of live dates in 2020, The Brass Funkeys did not take lockdown lying down, instead embarking on an ambitious project to release four EPs to catalogue the band’s journey. ‘Crunch’ (2020), showcases original material continuing their exploration of a new genre: #ThrashBrass, while ‘Live at Cambridge Junction’ (2021) features their high-energy stage show. ‘Ruin’ (2021) explores pumping, heavy, brass-led irreverent covers, from girlband to heavy metal. These EPs follow two earlier album releases, ‘The Brass Funkeys’ (2014) and ‘Rabble Rouser’ (2017) with 4* reviews (AllAboutJazz) which led to regular radio plays on Jazz FM and Jazz on 3, and over 400,000 Spotify plays.
