Now, more than ever, we need to brass against the machine. At least that’s what founding guitar player Brad Hammonds thought during the first Trump administration. Taking popular rock songs, Brass Against covers them with—that’s right—brass instruments, transforming everyone’s favorite tracks into unique, almost new tunes. Their cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” or System of a Down’s “Toxicity” are prime examples. After all, like the tour is called, “What better time than now?” It’s going to be a weekend of getting down with the sound and being relieved everyone can still celebrate the good times.
