Full Thought are very pleased to announce that the wonderful Youngblood Brass Band have signed their upcoming publishing rights to us. The nine piece brass/electronic ensemble make a variety of music, mixing elements of hip hop, traditional brass band, improv & punk. The first single ’20 Questions’ will be out on June 3rd, to be followed by their new album ‘Pax Volumi’, out in July on Tru Thoughts Records.
The nine-member ensemble hail from all over America (Madison, New Orleans, New York, Nashville, Minneapolis, Chicago) and have been unleashing their crash course in hip-hop/brass band/improv/punk on stages worldwide since 2000. What other band can claim the honour of having their music spun by DJs like ?uestlove (of The Roots), working with hip hop luminaries like Talib Kweli, having their original compositions performed by student marching bands and jazz ensembles around the globe, and still not be out of place on an all-punk bill? What other band brings together the ostensibly disparate worlds of the trombone geek and the backpacking b-boy?
