It's an interesting case. Can a band truly be bound to the underground, to the roots and, most importantly, keep this spirit in the sound? Seems to. The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a band of seven brass musicians and a drummer. Moreover, seven of them are blood brothers. Originally from Chicago, IL they're now located in New York City, where they play at every single corner for the people, just them and and their instruments, no amplifiers, truly unplugged. However, they also made it to Europe playing gigs with the mighty MOS DEF and the legendary MADNESS.
They just got me hooked the first time I heard them and I can't wait to see them live. Whatever bands pretend in interviews, if you really listen you can always hear whether musicians live, breath and feel their music or not. They do...
Check out their great song "WAR":
