Bonerama - "Hard Times"
(High Steppin')

In a city that doesn’t play by the rules, New Orleans’ Bonerama is something
different. Bonerama has been repeatedly recognized by Rolling Stone, hailed as “the ultimate in brass balls” (2005) and praised for their “...crushing ensemble riffing, human-feedback shrieks and wah-wah growls” (2007). Bonerama carries the brass-band concept to places unknown; what other brass band could snag an honor for “Best Rock Band” at the 2007 Big Easy Awards?

One listen to “Hard Times” and it’s easy to see why. As cofounder Mark Mullins puts it, “The song “Hard Times” is really about the antithesis of hard times and flipping our fears over to optimism. To those that say all hell is breaking loose, we say kick out the demons and embrace all the positives that are always around us but often ignored in this world.”
