The Apples - Killing
Reminded me of the Youngblood Brass Band, a group of a dozen or so angry young guys with various skins to bang and tubes to blow. Saw them a few years ago touring thier 'Is That A Riot?' album in Cab Vol in Edinburgh, a dark wee tunnel of a club. They barely fitted on the stage, but blew us all away with such an energy and anger in their sound.
I'd say they are a jazzed-up, poetic Rage Against The Machine with brass instead of guitars. Here are a few faves on Youtube to see what I mean.
Youngblood Brass Band - Nuclear Summer
Youngblood Brass Band - March
Youngblood Brass Band - Dead Man Stomping
It mite be my woeful laptop speakers, but as explosive as these tunes sound, they are poor imitation of what it's like to have them go off live in your face. Go see them if they're ever around! Their Myspace says they're touring the UK over the next couple of weeks...
