New Speedway Boogie

Keeping it simple and soulful, Brent & Co. combines rock, country, reggae and pop with improvisation to create memorable and refreshing music with heart and soul. Performing over 250 shows a year, this is a sound crafted on the road and in front of music lovers nationwide.  After touring and releasing on 2012’s Not How We Dream EP, Brent & Co. are eager to unleash their new music on the world and continue bringing their live show to fans far and wide.

The self-titled new release starts off with A Little Bit Closer, an acoustic rock reflection on the complexities of modern love.  Showcasing Brent & Co.’s signature pop-rock sound, this is the perfect opening track, with a killer saxophone solo to set the mood.  The next track, Breakin Up is a dedication to the three-chord reggae soul of the legendary Gregory Isaacs.  Moving into sweet rock steady and reggae territory is natural for the band and provides an injection of uplifting soul to the mix.  Brent & Co. has a foundation of Americana, country and folk music and these influences can be heard on Why Oh Why.  The third track is about the frustration of mixed signals among lovers, a theme familiar to many listeners and has already been a big hi in the live show.  Many of the songs are inspired by the trials and tribulations of love, and Don’t Even is a contemplative string driven ballad about the frustration found in relationships.  A more upbeat song about love is Collected, with a danceable beat, strong horns and urgent lyrics throughout.  Brent & Co. is no stranger to funk, and this track really embraces a horn driven groove to great effect. Closing out the release is Let’s Stay Together, a loving tribute to Al Green and one of the best songs ever written.  This version really showcases the band’s organic live sound and strength as a quartet, and it works really well to close out the EP on a sweet note.

The Brent & Co. EP has a little something for everybody; deep and meaningful love songs, tributes to some of their favorite musicians and fine musicianship throughout.  Ranging from acoustic rock and folksy Americana to skanking rock steady reggae and horn heavy funk: with a passion for life and music tying it all together.   This EP has a broad appeal to new and old fans alike and listeners of all ages and backgrounds.
