The Youngblood Brass Band combines the inspiration they took from the traditional New Orleans brass band sound with influences from jazz music, improvised music, a decidedly punk ethos, and a strong hip hop component. More than many New Orleans groups, the Youngblood band focuses on tight ensemble playing and pushing the boundaries of brass band music beyond its traditional genre, which allows them to provide solid, diverse backing for Skogen's rapping and McIntosh's virtousic sousaphone work.

MUSIC STYLE CONTINUED: Unable to be classified as either jazz, hip-hop, punk or any other existing genre, the band coined the term Riot Jazz. The band acknowledge the debt their music owes to the New Orleans bands with performances of traditional tunes such as "Chinatown, My Chinatown", which they included on their Unlearn album.
