Broken by Rock / the Sea Cucumbers / Bruiser

Glasgow’s Broken By Rock deal in melodic, fuzzed-up indie guitar pop, packed with irresistible hooks, wry humour and a healthy disregard for unnecessary polish. There’s a warmth and familiarity to their sound, drawing on the great Scottish tradition of making scruffy guitar music sound effortlessly brilliant. Tunes first, attitude second, and plenty of both.
