{"product_id":"brutus-viii-beyond","title":"Brutus VIII - Beyond","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrutus VIII is Jackson Katz's (Slow Hollows, Current Joys) rejection of his soft indie-rock band roots into no wave experimentation. Brutus VIII was started in 2013 as a solo project and after a few iterations has remained, for the most part, solo. With jarring and oftentimes abrasive live performances, Katz forces audiences to confront the expectations of a performer. The project is an exploration into the hyper masculine ideal, painting a picture of how ridiculous machismo-ism is. With nihilistic lyrical overtones, Brutus VIII personifies fear being the root of anger. In it's most distilled form, Brutus VIII is a reflection of how society both stokes the flames of angry chauvinism and uses escapism to stave off the feelings of being trapped in a cycle of helplessness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973076164850,"sku":"673681141166","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4054219-2786780.jpg?v=1787597098","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/brutus-viii-beyond","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
