It’s hard to define Brandon Tomei’s Names Are Violent because, well, that’s the point. Blending decades of pop, funk, R&B and indie music, as it is a rebellion against conceptual projects.

Born from the boredom of quarantine, Names are Violent prioritizes the organic sounds immediately at Tomei's disposal; using only the instruments he could fit within his small apartment studio pre-pandemic.
