Brutal Republic is as part of the midwest music scene as anything. It's been here a long time. It's the immovable, absolute, trend kill of the great plains. It can show up to a stage with a set to invigorate any audience regardless of the genre of the bill. A power trio with the complexity and output of a 5 piece band, Brutal Republic writes in the genres of rock, pop, metal, jazz, country, blues and folk. It will move a room. No pandering, no bullshit.
