Tom McGuire & the Brassholes are a funk soul powerhouse from Glasgow. Combining rich arrangements with meticulous songcraft and untouchable in live performance, the band is carving a niche of their own. Since their debut in 2019, the band has steadily built a dedicated following with their high-energy performances and unique, genre-blending sound.
Their latest album, A Name For Everything I’ll Ever Be, is a bold, new chapter. Inspired by frontman Tom McGuire’s profound journey into fatherhood, this album pulses with raw emotion and a deeper, more powerful message than anything they've released before. With three albums under their belt, A Name For Everything I’ll Ever Be reflects their growth both personally and musically.
The bands music is full of vitality, the sound of a new niche being cut, classic pop sensibility with high musicianship values and rewarding arrangement and rich production. But at the root, soulfull song, telling stories and sharing experiences of joy, turmoil, loss, celebration, sadness, happiness, confidence, frailty. All told hyper distilled and delivered in finely honed funk pop parcels of aesthetic joy. Tom isnt pulling punches on this run. Playing every song like it’s the last time any song will ever be played by anyone anywhere, the music performed by this band matters.
