Default Pearls & Brass




First of all, they're not a doom band.
They're not a Stoner band eather.
And I assure you they're not another instrumental band.
But most importantly,
I could be lying.

Although I'm not.

Annnnywayyy...The 3 piece that is Pearls and Brass formed in 2001 and are some sweet soft psychedelic rock (some call it hard rock, I hear more soft than hard). Bluntly, you couldn't really call them anything new, I swear I've heard this sound quite a bit now as it's been tweaked off an original 70's base; however it is really, really well done.
They originally started out playing "ultra fast hardcore", music of theirs I haven't yet heard, but they've since grown out of it and have been listening to a lot of bluesy stuff, which you can kind of hear coming through in their latest release The Indian Tower.

I found this, it is entitled Volume 1 and was described as Metal/Death Metal, so I couldn't tell you about this side of P&B; Volume 1

And heres a sample off The Indian Tower, the psychedelic stuff I've been talking about.

Give something a download, they're pretty awesome, a great jam band, and The Indian Tower is a sweet album.

I remember when I first heard them. My friend described them as "super old school sounding Frank Zappa worship" so I had to download it. Not quite what I was expecting but they're not bad at all.

Haha yeah well how many ways could you go about worshipping Zappa!?

I'm downloading their Volume 1 right now to see what it's like. I'm kind of interested in this hardcore they did, surely they did it before they formed officially as P&B because thats a big swing of musical styles in less than 5 years.

I take it you listened to the one track I upped, swim?

Volume 1 is much the same but a bit more lively, I probably like it more than the stuff I uploaded.

I listened to Volume 1. It's good just nothing especially great, in my opinion at least. It's not my favorite sound I must say but, I'll definitely listen to it again.
