Mandela Hall proudly presents Brass Against on 12th October 2023.

In this politically challenging era, it’s time to stand up against the machine. Brass Against is a collective of artists, led and curated by Brad Hammonds, who share in the goal of creating brass protest music that calls fans to action.

Brass Against was formed in 2017 feeling there was a real need for politically charged music. Brass Against has since toured widely, selling out shows as they go, appeared at various festivals, including Boomtown, Pukkelpop, Download and more, as well as touring globally as special guests of Tool.

Brass Against has released three full length albums including renditions of songs from Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Audioslave, and more. On April 10th the group debuted some original music via an EP with Sophia Urista on vocals.

Brass Against combine rock and edgy hip-hop to play music that's powerful and empowering. Brass Against is exceptional music with a political edge. They’re angry, they’re inspired, and they’re ready for change—and they hope their music amplifies this energy in everyone who listens.
