In 2004, sousaphonist and primary arranger Nat McIntosh left the group. As McIntosh’s music was a “main component of the band’s sound since inception”, his departure marked a change in sound for Youngblood Brass Band, as chronicled by the release of Live. Places and Is That a Riot? . The band’s work during this time features a harder hip-hop edge with stronger punk influences than their other work.
