Tonight: The Brute Chorus @ The North Star Bar.

You might not be aware of this, but JUMP began as a London-based project, during the summer of 2010. In the protype edition of the mag, Kevin Brosky caught up with an exciting London band, The Brute Chorus, a four-piece who churns out a stompy storm of dark rockabilly.

Around that time, they were just releasing their second LP, How the Caged Bird Sings, a record that has since garnered plenty of critical acclaim in the U.K. Now, they’re marching toward their third full-length LP, landing a prized showcase gig at SXSW in Austin, TX, later this month.

The Brutes landed in the States this week for the first time in their history, playing New York City the other night. Tonight, they’ll bring their energy-filled live show to Philly’s North Star Bar.

They’ve launched a fundraising campaign on IndieGoGo to make up some of the mammoth costs of a U.S. tour and released the below video of a brand new song, titled “My Testament.”
