Delta on my side

Pearls and Brass – Highway Sermon
Pearls and Brass – Stone Leaves

This is music best played as loudly as possible.

While this s/t album is already two years old at this point it maintains a really fresh energy like some other recent Robot favorites. Pearls and Brass has a truly progressive Sabbath-esque 70’s blues sound, not some bull-shit stoner rock. The trio has been playing together for the last ten years or so since they met in high school. Josh Martin hammers out the backbone of the band on drums while front-men guitarist Randy Huth and bassist Joel Winter provide warm bluesy to heavy growling vocal styles.

Their live performance abilities show a lot of technical development since this last album released. While their show last week in Philly at the North Star displayed their talent for longer blues jams, I was told they’re moving in a more experimental percussion based direction. I’d like these guys to get back in the studio so we can hear some more, hopefully here on M.F-R. For now, buy the album here, and write the band here.
