Following on the heels of last year's well-received self-titled debut album, L.A.'s premiere garage rock upstarts The Brutalists are proud to announce their forthcoming sophomore album, We Are Not Here To Help, on September 6. The new album once again unites Mick Cripps (founding member of L.A. Guns) and Nigel Mogg (founding member of The London Quireboys) along with Kent Holmes, Charlie Nice, and Luke Bossendorfer for a smoldering slab of bluesy pub rock mixed with R&B and bits of ska and reggae thrown in for good measure. The result is utterly unique yet enchantingly familiar, driving melodies and riffs deep into the heart and soul of listeners. Just give a listen to the superb first single from the new album, "Take It All Away," along with the supremely cool video, for a taste of what this band is capable of - watch it below!
