"These guys are a really tight 7-piece combo comprising 3-piece brass and rhythm sections, keyboards and fronted by Steve on guitar and vocals. Suffice to say that this is great unit with a formidable line up of quality musicians rocking the audience with a mega hot set."

(Gig review, Tenby Blues Festival 2012)

"Within the first few notes, the dance floor was jumping, it was standing room only in every corner of the room and very, very few people were standing still. You just have to groove along to this infectious band - the huge reception of the knowledgeable Skegness crowd left no-one in any doubt that they should be brought back to this stage again." The Jaks stage logo says 'This joint is jumping!' and it was never truer.

"….this accomplished and experienced band immediately transported us from the countryside to the big-city blues of Albert King and Albert Collins"

(Gig review, Blues at The Fold)

"Steve Roux has been there-done-that-played-with-them and has a blues CV even longer than the name of his Brass Knuckle Blues Band. This is a big band with a big sound and a growing reputation. Stylistically reminiscent of Albert King’s Stax recordings with ‘B3’ keyboard and three-piece brass section they impressed…"

"A first time visit to the Abbeyfest for this magnificent 7 piece band who have been smashing their way to the top of some of the major Blues festivals this year. Featuring the superb guitar skills and vocals of Steve Roux supported by a band of superb musicians."

"Organisers please note! Absolutely the best band to close the evening and send the punters happy to their beds".

(Gig review, Skegness Rock & Blues Festival - January 2012)

“The Brass Knuckle Blues Band changed the mood with a polished and accomplished set. Albert Kings ‘You’re Gonna Need Me’ worked well with the rousing horn section.”

(Gig review, Blues on the Farm Festival - 2011)

"Steve Roux with a pleasantly gruff voice and a blistering fret technique which betrayed “influence of 1960s vintage Eric Clapton.”

(The Times)

"The next band to hit the stage was The Brass Knuckle Blues Band -  this ultra-tight band played an emphatic set including their superb rendition of Albert King’s ‘You’re Going To Need Me’  as well as a tremendous cover of ‘Black Cat Bone’ as well as some self-penned numbers to great applause from the crowd."

“There can be few bands around with such pedigree... tight as a cylinder-head bolt on Thrust II.”
