"Those fantastic brass bands from New Orleans, they already have their sound, and they have a tradition, and it's a part of American history already," No BS! Brass Band's Reggie Pace told NPR Weekend Edition yesterday. "We wanted to make something that sounded like the music that we listened to, and the city that we lived in."

Reggie discusses why the group's native Richmond, VA is their biggest influence, and how the death of Freddie Gray this spring influenced the writing on their new album 'Brass Knuckles.' Listen to the full segment here.
