April saw the release of Essex trio Broken Chords EP Rock & Stone, a cheeky 4 track offering of some seriously good indie rock. This band of 20 somethings have spent the last 3 years refining their trade with gig after gig all over the country supporting the likes of Bernie Torme, Electric Mary and a claiming a decent slot at the Hard Rock Hell Helloween last year.
That legacy clearly shows, this is a tight group of consummate musicians who know how good they are, the three man band line up is always pleasing on the ears as there is nowhere to hide. Not that these three do, all vying for attention throughout a great little rock n roll offering that positively bounces along with an almost retro punk feel to it.
New single 'Rock & Stone' deserves airplay and people’s attention whilst 'Wild Child' screams festival anthem at you. These are 4 tracks that can only indicate greater things to come. Punchy drums, raw guitars and great vocals, produced by Paul Tipler (The Horrors, Idlewild, Placebo) make this a great EP to add to your rock collection.
