No BS! Brass' LP Cover Shows Baltimore Protests As Art

RVA-based 12-piece No BS! Brass Band's forthcoming LP 'Brass Knuckles' (out 11/20) is their most politically urgent record to date from its powerful lyrics encouraging listeners to stay positive in the midst of frequent acts of police brutality to its cover art. The impressionistic painting depicts protests in Baltimore.

Bandleader Reggie Pace says, "I like this image because it was a big catalyst in the police brutality conversation in this country. The media barely covered the murders that were happening but the petty destruction was on EVERY CHANNEL. We stand in solidarity with all who struggle to bring equality and righteousness to our beautiful planet."

'Brass Knuckles' is available for pre-order on iTunes here. Preview the title track via the Jimmy Fallon Tumblr here.
