BROKEN RECORDS (London 229 Bar, 05/09/08)

Another fantastic show from this magnificent Scottish seven-piece, who are bound to be one of the big success stories of 2009. A touch less mind-blowing than their Latitude set, it was touching to see that despite not even having a proper release out yet they’re starting to garner a small but energetic fanbase that know all the words to all the songs. It’s only a matter of time before they’re performing epic symphonic balladry like Slow Parade in venues ten times bigger than this; I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to see them so many times in such intimate settings. Supports The Ruling Class are also worth mentioning , riffing heavily on the early 90’s baggy era but showing enough talent to prove themselves more than mere Stone Roses imitators. They’re playing another show in December supporting by the Outside Royalty, which I’ll almost certainly be attending.
