Big Band of Boom Drops Brass-Driven, Drum-Heavy Propane Nightmares Video

Big Band of Boom released a brass-driven, drum-heavy video for their take on Pendulum’s "Propane Nightmares" on February 19, 2026, recasting the electronic original around horns and percussion. Poll: which Pendulum track should Big Band of Boom tackle next?

The new video foregrounds the ensemble’s brass section and rhythmic attack, pushing the melody through trombones, trumpets, and layered drum patterns rather than synths. The release is positioned as a statement of intent for the group’s live approach as they support an upcoming UK tour, where the brass-led arrangement is expected to be a centerpiece of the set.

The single is being issued in the run-up to Big Band of Boom’s debut LP, scheduled for release March 13, 2026 via Ragtime Records. That album date frames the video as the first major preview of the band’s studio direction for the LP, which the group is promoting throughout the UK tour dates.

Pendulum’s "Propane Nightmares" is a high-profile source for an interpretation of this scale, and Big Band of Boom’s decision to strip back electronics in favor of acoustic brass and drums reframes the track’s drive around live dynamics and tempo changes. The video release on February 19 gives promoters and venues a clear audio-visual sample to book the band’s forthcoming shows.

The video drop also serves practical touring needs: with the LP release six weeks after the video, Ragtime Records and the band can coordinate merchandise, set lists, and promotional slots around a concrete recorded version of the arrangement. The timing situates the video as both a creative statement and a logistical tool for the UK tour rollout.

Big Band of Boom’s brass-forward, rhythm-first "Propane Nightmares" video sets expectations for the March 13 LP on Ragtime Records and the band’s live run across the UK, offering a clear preview of how the group intends to translate electronic drum-and-bass energy into a horn and percussion-driven live show.
