This week, 100b’s inbox shared Broken Records with us. Broken Records are so new they don’t have nothin’ out yet, other than an EP sold at their shows, but they have been getting some attention around the music world. They’ve done live sessions for the BBC and were voted Best of the T Break Stage (the best of unsigned Scottish music) at 2007′s T in the Park. According to their band bio:
Using a range of instruments including guitars, bass, violin, cello, accordion, mandolin, piano, trumpet, glockenspiel and drums, they create a sound combining traditional European folk with modern Scottish alternative music.
And they do have an incredibly eclectic mix of sounds. If you want some real-life comparisons, there’s moments in Broken Records’ music that sound like: Franz Ferdinand, Sons & Daughters, Muse, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Beirut … and more. They’re definitely going to be big this year and they’re currently planning their debut single release, so hop on board before it’s too late to say you knew about them first.
Download “Slow Parade” below and then go listen to what I think is their best song, “If The News Makes You Sad”, at BrokenSpace.
