Broken REcords - If The News Makes You Sad, Don't Watch It

Scottish seven-piece Broken Records have already been called “awesome” by NME, now they want to confirm that claim with the general public by releasing their new single ‘If The News Makes You Sad, Don’t Watch It’.

‘If The News Makes You Sad, Don’t Watch It’ opens with a really nice, steady bassline before you get an inkling of the full power the seven members of Broken Records have. The simple opening quickly becomes layered yet the music takes a back seat to Jamie’s voice, complete with Scottish accent.

Broken Records fuse alternative music with traditional folk to create a sound that is diverse and unique, a good 90 percent of the time when reviewing it is easy to compare artists with other artists, but I can’t think of one other band that these seven lads sound like.

Broken Records music is rich and enchanting, they have a wide commercial appeal and they’re bound to become one of the best loved bands on the festival circuit this summer.
