SECOND ARTIST WITH SAME NAME: After releasing a few EPs under the name North Star Infinite, the newly-named Brass is ready to re-emerge and re-invent themselves as a band. After a few changes in their line up (mainly their drummers), they finally established their sound in the freshly-released Set & Drift. Set & Drift is an 8-song EP filled with heavy, exploding guitars and angsty vocals. Songs like "The Optimist" and "Seperate Boadies" are fast-paced, melodramatic rock songs that can break this band into the mainstream. The epic and dreamy ballad "Exhales" broadens their large sound and rounds up the versitility of their EP. If Brass plays their cards right, they have a formula that can march them right up the Modern Rock charts. Read more on Last.fm.
