Big Band of Boom: Is it Jazz ….is it Rock…A Brass section…in a Rock Band ….what ?

NMR – These guys have stepped into a genre all of their own, creating a fusion of Rock anthems with a twist of Brass and vocal melodies awash filling the soundscape.  

From the industrial heart of the Midlands comes a sound so explosive, so unapologetically loud, it could only belong to Birmingham’s own Big Band of Boom. Equal parts powerhouse rock and big-band swagger, this 10-piece sonic force is setting stages on fire and building a cult following that stretches across the UK and beyond.

If Rage Against the Machine and Tower of Power had a lovechild raised on festival chaos and horn-fueled anarchy, you’d get close to understanding the raw energy this group delivers. But honestly? You have to feel it to believe it.

A Sound Unique…

The Big Band of Boom are not your typical brass ensemble. Imagine searing guitar riffs colliding with cinematic horn arrangements, all pinned down by thunderous percussion and high-octane vocals. The result? A musical explosion that’s impossible to ignore.

Their lineup reads like a who’s who of Birmingham’s music elite—seasoned pros from the city’s best-known bands have come together to form something far greater than the sum of its parts. And it shows in the music: tight, fearless, and ferociously fun.

On the Live Scene

Whether you’ve caught them by accident at a festival or followed them obsessively from the start, one thing is clear: BBOB live is an experience. They’ve already brought their carnival of chaos to major UK festivals like Boomtown, Camp Bestival, Twinwood, and Shambala, turning heads and winning hearts with every thunderous set.

Now, in 2025, the band is taking their show on the road with dates across the UK and Europe. From club gigs to outdoor blowouts, their calendar is packed—so if you haven’t seen them yet, this is your chance.

Building Momentum: Releases & Recognition

The buzz isn’t just live—their early singles have made waves online too. Tracks like:

• “Big Bad Voodoo” – A stomping, voodoo-laced anthem packed with swagger and swing.

•  “M.I.A.” – A politically-charged powerhouse that showcases their lyrical bite.

•  “Back To The Circus” – A wild, brass-infused banger that feels like a musical rollercoaster.

Together, these songs have racked up over 100,000 streams, drawing attention from both fans and industry insiders. And now, with their debut album set to drop via Ragtime Records, BBOB are poised to launch into the next level.

Why the Big Band of Boom ?

In an era where so many bands follow the same formula, the Big Band of Boom dares to do something different. Their music isn’t just heard—it’s felt. There’s attitude, artistry, and adrenaline behind every note.

They’re a band that doesn’t fit in a box—and they like it that way. With deep roots in brass tradition and rock rebellion, they’re tearing down genre walls and creating something altogether new: a full-body, horn-blasted, guitar-shredding live experience that sticks with you long after the last note.
