Main Information

NameYoungBlood Brass Band
Genre HipHop Experimental Jazz
Website addresswww.youngbloodbrassband.com
We Music Store Url wemusicstore.com/youngblood
Press"If you see one band this decade, make it YoungBlood Brass Band." - The London Times

"Against-the-odds FANTASTIC." - BBC Collective

YoungBlood Brass Band has been touring the globe for the past 8 years, having performed at all of the largest music festivals in the world: Glastonbury, Roskilde, North Sea, WOMAD, Lowlands, Pukkelpop, etc. as well as selling out club shows in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Brussels, Oslo, and more.

They are unstoppable live and their new studio record Is That a Riot? (Layered Music) blows the roof off what was previously possible with just horns, drums and voice.

Their stage performances have drawn comparisons to Rage Against The Machine from uncreative journalists all over the world, if you can believe that, with 5 horn players, 3 drummers, a sousaphone and an MC...though they appreciate the press.

YB runs their own record label/arts collective, Layered, and frequently does educational work at universities and high schools around the US.

Their first album Unlearn featured collaborations with hiphop legend Talib Kweli, poet/producer Mike Ladd, Frank Zappa vocalist Ike Willis and DMC champ DJ Skooly. Their second album Center:Level:Roar was released on avant-hiphop NYC label Ozone, the birthplace of progressive music luminaries like Company Flow, Mike Ladd, Mr. Lif, Saul Williams, Sonic Sum and more.

Their new album, Is That a Riot?, is the first studio album released on their own label, Layered Music. Layered Music is part of the Layered Arts Collective, which members of YBB co-founded in Madison, WI to act as label, publishing house, promoter, organizer and facilitator of arts-education opportunities for local youth as well as bringing in/publishing their family of artists. The second release on Layered is by D.H. Skogen's other project, Cougar, which John McEntire (Tortoise) mixed/recorded. Layered is distributed through Carrot Top in the states, Vital (UK) and PIAS in Europe.

YoungBlood is on tour now.
Thanks for listening.

Try to my funny ring tone.

I made 'Sing, Sing, Sing' to 'Ring, Ring, Ring' with my voice!

Not sure if you already voted in the Battle of the Bands but I'd LOVE your vote, if you check out my page and like what you hear.

I've made some free downloads available.

Rock on~

Wishing you all the very best...
I recently found out that I'm one of 10 finalists from the music contest on here that is eligible to win $1000 at the end of the month. In order for me to win, I must have the highest amount of votes by members, album sales and overall activity on my profile.

The night of Valentine's Day (music IS my lover) I recorded a few songs and they are now for sale as well. If it's been a while since you've seen my profile, do take a listen. Please check out my myspace profile too- there's a lot more to see, read and hear there (I'm a writer and videographer as well).

*with respect and gratitude*
thank you for your time and consideration.

in love, for love, feel love, be love, with love, my love, from love

Btw, buying DRM-free music here is infinitely better for me than buying the same tracks on iTunes (which I did for two of your tracks), so thanks for putting stuff up here.

Seriously, you guys are pretty damn good.
