Released on: 22nd June 2018
Ohio based trio Brass Owl deliver their blend of psychoactive stoner heavy metal in a neat self-titled EP. Four tracks that really set the bar high for what is next to come from the band. And with the action so tidy on these tracks will hopefully be coming soon. Apparently the members have each had at least ten years experience making music; you can’t rush beauty.
Brass Owl is a southern belle in both tone and flavor. With an indulgent personality and a solid method to rock your socks off. This groovy bird (they are called Brass Owl remember) will teach you how to fly and make your wings soar.
Variety is the spice of life and Brass Owl, the EP, is a dynamic blend of life and love. Love expressed almost perfectly with soulful raps on guitar, southern crooning and funky rhythms coming from a tight drum kit. With such a diverse load out Brass Owl is more than prepared to blast out of the nest and into the fire.
What a journey it is though!
You would be forgiven for thinking that Brass Owl is just the product of the groups influences, which are undoubtedly to be found in classic heavy metal and blues, but what the band really brings to the table is personality. These grooves have learned from the best anti-war rhetoric and offer saccharine tunes filled with life and all shades of styles funk and filigree.
Brass Owl take the idea of eponymous and apply it to rockin’. Brass Owl is rockin’. Two rockin’ horns fresh.
9/10
