Sophia is without a doubt the best vocalist that plays with Brass Against. She has that perfect mix of grunge and dynamic that I love. Also, choosing Rooster is a really cool choice because the song is so subtle, with equal amounts of quiet and loud, and the way they are able to tone down the normally bombastic levels during the quiet moments was great.

I may just be a 57-year old victim of the lost 70s, the arrogant 80s and the youth anguish of the 90’s, but I hah of the 90’s, but I have nonetheless discovered a sophisticated appreciation for the sounds these kids have discovered. It is a sound that is both brazen and nuanced.. confrontational but soft edged.. aggressive but merciful. This band has discovered the dried out skeletons of blues based rock, dusted them off with sensational horns and winds, and then reshaped them with stunningly powerful vocals, with bold arrangements and innovative presentation. Yes, this old “classic” believes strongly in where this band is headed. Oh and by the way, why the big deal about Sophie’s “stage antics”? When I was your age, we recognized such performances as artful depictions of momentary “creative orgasms”, and NOT what many of the more hypocritical people have loudly called “offensive”and “degrading.” Listen people! We WANT artists to push the limits. That’s what they do. And little things like the Renaissance, The Industrial revolution of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, even the social and cultural events of the 60s all marched forward in step with revolutionaries who pushed boundaries. Well done, Brass Against. I really dig who you are. I’m in.
