Record of the Week - Brakes: Touchdown

Welcome Brakes

TOUCHDOWN is the first offering from the Brighton group under their recent signing to Fat Cat Records.
The quartet seemingly can’t put a foot wrong. Their bizarre blend of disco and country in debut album Give Blood actually worked. They are also one of those bands who are just as good at creating power-pop hits as they are at producing introspective acoustic numbers. Hey, Hey, the current single, is an explosive pop rock gem à la Ash. But it’s their distinctive alt-country sound that reigns supreme.
APRIL WELSH

• Brakes play the Camden Crawl on April 24-25.
