  • @TubaTones saw the Soul Rebels on jools holland, so fresh, wat a huge sound

  • This band is inspirational to watch.

  • chap at 2:58 is actually listening to spice girls!

  • Amen

  • especially for a brass group.

  • Respect!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • best live band i've ever seen in my life. They love the weed. good times

  • 7 Brother`s from different Mother`s *!*

  • @19dingo76 not quite lol they do share some mommas lol

  • @thegirlwiththeglow More was a fun of me! Do you also play a musical instrument?

  • LOL @ bodybuilder

  • @DogChapman lol how would u fucking kno???

    when they come to dublin they stay in a hotel right next to restaurant and they come in for breakfast

  • amazing guys, i got to see you in the Portobello Road in england when you graced our shores

  • this is real sweeeeet! inspiration right here

  • They're albumn on itunes is so good!!

  • THESE GUYS WILL BE FAMOUS SOME DAY. the more you do anything... the better you become. They are young. Music is capricious ---- MaLI (from the song drive slow)

  • @1khafree They're featured on the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach. It's fair to say they're pretty well known, especially for a brass group.

  • man that hooks gunna be stuck in my head all day

  • i saw them in bedford they were great i have been looking for them for a year now i can just sit back and chill

  • I remember seeing these guys in downtown Chicago about 6 years ago, dope band!

  • @incestquestionmark ...rookie.

  • daamnn i bought they album in chicago like 6 years ago on michigan ave... go hard star

  • for all the trashtalkers. Music is music. Its a wonderful thing that makes people feel better inside. Like in the beginning he says its a medicine. These artists make their music so people can listen and enjoy not so you can sit at home on ya computer and diss on them. So what if ya like other types of music ya dont have to talk shit about other artist. What makes your say better than anyone else's. So if ya got nothin good to say bout these poets dont say it cuz to me these guys are remarkable!

  • @BadAndChrist13 real shit

  • How can somebody not like that music? I`m into trash metal personally but would never regreat a GOOD, NATURAL, INSTRUMENTAL music.

    You all can`t just listen to some bam bam bam fucking techno garbage all the time??? Even those two guys at 3:54 kinda likes it...or maybe one is supposed to be a women but has a musculature like me :D

  • @papierzkohanas Maybe because they aren't that good? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy listening to them, but I enjoy listening to jazz or classical much more.

  • You guys swing,but you are not "menacing". It's music man..you know?

  • these guys are dop! i wonder if they would lemme play wit'them

    makalani jones 512.696.3507

    and 2nd play that?

    in my sleep LMAO

  • amen! rebirth to organic!

  • buenisimoooo..!!!!Excelente..!­!!

  • Beautiful!

  • I wondered where these guys had disappeared to...

    I have to go dig out their cd...

  • How does this only have 209,341 views and Justin Beiber, Eminem and Taylor Swift have over 20 million on one song each? this is ridiculous...

  • @UesugiVincentibanez because this is only a documentry, not an actual music vid, and eminem is insane, ver different genre, he deserves all the fame he gets, beiber appeals to 12 yrold- girls, of which there are alot of, and taylor swift aint that baad

  • @hugoishuge ha, actually, funny part is i have gotten a liking to Eminem's rap recently , it is insane :D however, i will still disagree on the Taylor Swift part

  • @UesugiVincentibanez hahaa, well, to each to their own I suppose, and if you like eminem, you might like devlin- community outcast, and also possibly runaway by him

  • I like this real music that come from the soul..

  • this is why ny is simply great and most other places....aren't :(

  • @jhonezcronic they're from Chicago, just thought you might want to know.

  • I love you guys! A few years ago, I was visiting my son in NYC when I heard this wonderful brass music filtering through the crowd. I was totally taken, captivated by the sound. There's nothing quite like what you're going. Unique, fresh and sweet.

  • the guy at 0:50 looks like Tony Royster Jr. lol

  • AMEN!!! I missed them by a week the last time I was in NY. Hoping to catch them in a few months. However it would be great to have them play in Australia!!!

  • Maybe the people who walked by quickly didn't want to be in the camera's way. But yeah, how can you NOT hear this music, NOT feel it & stop to listen?

  • Super show in Galway on Thurs last. I like what he says about 'organic', not having to plug in. A great boast. Real music is hard to find sometimes. I have ordered their album on vinyl.
