Brutus VIII

Artist Bio

Brutus VIII is the brainchild of Jackson Katz (Slow Hollows). Through insane live performances that border on performance art, Brutus has cultivated a cult following amongst the Los Angeles DIY scene that continues to grow. With his debut album, A Hackney Pursuit, Jackson has crafted an album that goes beyond any live sensibility, and instead straight to the heart of the listener. His follow up EP, The New You, pushes in an entirely new direction, stretching the musical boundaries that were barley tangible to begin with.

FLOOD: Brutus VIII Takes Inspiration from Don DeLillo and Paul Auster on Satiric New Track “Building a Bomb”
2024-03-21

Maintaining his familiar post-punk vocal incantations, the new track explores more maximalist sounds across industrial metal and no wave while Katz’s lyrics dip into political satire inspired by Don DeLillo’s Mao II and Paul Aster’s Leviathan. “It’s me poking fun at performative political activism while also expressing some fears about domestic terrorism,” he shares. “In the last decade it seems casual mass violence has become the new normal. This makes me profoundly uncomfortable. The lyrics and music are written to reflect that.”
