Brass Skulls with Blood & Rust: Live
Seymour's Brass Skulls team up with Blood & Rust for a night of rock and metal
Seymour’s Brass Skulls made a return appearance in Wichita Falls with a gig at the Iron Horse Pub, and just as they did in previous live spots, they brought energy and musical skill that rivals some of the best traveling bands from across Texoma. The Skulls are the reigning winners of Wichita Falls’ 2025 Freedom Fest Battle of the Bands, and catching one of their gigs clearly shows why. This band has talent, top to bottom.
Brass Skulls has gone through some lineup changes since we first saw them, and now boasts a triple guitar attack. However, guitarist Clint Chandler was unable to be with them on this night, leaving the eminently capable guitar duo of Roger Smithson and Terry Easter to handle six-string duties. Husband and wife team Dave and Sam Navarro (drums and bass, respectively,) with lead vocalist Landon Green, headlined the night with a blistering set of hard rock covers and originals, and left every live rock fan fulfilled.
It always helps when the headliner has a powerhouse opening act.
Special guests Blood & Rust opened the night, led by Angel Hunter, a veteran of the Wichita Falls metal scene (Skinhook) who recently returned to the stage after years away, and she had her own cheering section of enthusiastic fans.
Blood & Rust also features a husband and wife duo, with Angel’s husband and multi-instrumentalist Jaymes Jager (Dirt, Escape Goats) on drums, plus lead guitarist Hank Relic, Jacob Howard on rhythm, and Matt Wolf on bass. Together, they bludgeoned the walls of the Iron Horse with metal originals and cover tunes.
At last check, Angel’s other band Skinhook, was scheduled to unleash the beast at Wichita Falls Brewing Company on November 1st. Don’t miss that.
