The brass kicks are a rock and roll 3 piece from Joliet IL. The group released their first EP titled ‘Barn Salon’ in 2014 and after years of fine-tuning the band’s first full-length E.P. is set to release Spring, 2018. Members include Marco Palandri on lead guitar and vocals, August Bryan on kit, and Ben Sweetnam on bass and backup vocals.

For each member of the band, music has always been a passion. Fueled by a common faith and mutual friendship, a band was formed first in late 2012. Over the next year there would be various personnel changes as well as a name change. Still through it all there remained a common purpose. The heart of the band has always remained the same. The desire to make music people would want to listen to, and to share a message of hope to a world who needs it. There is so much hurting and pain in our society, and if through music one person can find hope and freedom, then its worth it all.
