REVIEWS
"One of New York’s most explosive live bands. They march in various formations, wear illuminated costumes, climb on anything that looks like it could support them…and write catchy songs that draw from styles as diverse as Serbian dances, New Orleans second-line marches and punk funk."
- New York Music Daily review of Bones and Burning
"The band put on a dazzling auditory and visual display in the video, dressed in post-apocalyptic gear and marching into the wastelands...'Terminus,' the song and video, is bright and upbeat and offers up hope (unity and community) in a world that’s slowly sliding into dystopia."
- The Big Takeover, premiere of “Terminus” music video
“Funkrust Brass Band's Bones and Burning redefines eclectic cool with its eighteen-piece band of shiny brilliance...the band creates a uniquely cinematic, post-apocalyptic vibe worth getting lost in.”
- Independent Clauses review of Bones and Burning
“The apocalypse inches ever closer and trust me, YOU WILL NEED THESE JAMZ WHILE IT ALL BURNZ DOWN.”
- Michael Kammers of MK Groove Orchestra on Bones and Burning
"It’s an upbeat album that is easy to sing along to, but more importantly it’s easy to dance to. The biggest problem the record has for the listener is that it makes it impossible to not want to catch Funkrust live and in person right away."
- rBeatz review of Dark City
"Funkrust Brass Band waste no time opening the album with their signature song, Funkrust. Catchy tuba bassline underpinning its rat-a-tat trombones, cinematically rising trumpets and undulating groove, this mashup of Balkan brass and American funk sounds like an even more epic version of iconic Brooklyn band Slavic Soul Party."
- New York Music Daily on Dark City
"Prior to hitting play limber up your hips, knees and most importantly ankles as Funkrust Brass Band take the listener on a journey that demands much of the lower joints in a roughly twenty five minute, seven track, release of unrelenting strutting dance."
