Broken Witt Rebels are a four-piece band from Birmingham, UK, Supporting The View and playing up and down the country, the rebels are putting their own original stamp on the Birmingham music scene and are definitely on the rise. They recently played a sell-out show at the Victoria as part of one of the This Feeling featured bands on XFM, and played this year’s Camden Rocks Festival.
Their latest EP, “HOWLIN’”, was self-released and is available for worldwide digital download. “Shake Me Down”, one of the songs from the EP reached over 73,000 plays on soundcloud.com within four weeks and has earned the band features by numerous blogs and sites, among them Fred Perry, hillydilly and Indie Shuffle who declared that “[t]here are big things up ahead for this American-bluesy-rock four-piece.”
The New LoFi states that “[s]inger Danny Core is hard to ignore with his strong (and presumably whiskey soaked) vocal chords and James Tranter’s guitar sounds like it was pulled straight out of the American south at the height of Blues music. Their latest single, “Shake Me Down” sounds like the love child between Kings of Leon and Alabama Shakes, and their track “Howlin” could be the long lost cousin of Ram Jam’s “Black Betty” with it’s driving stomp of a bass drum.”
“The arrangement of James Tranter’s dominant, layered guitar work, Danny Core’s strong and unique vocal, Luke Davis’s muddy harmonic bass playing and Anthony Byrne’s thunderous drumming are the framework of a band that’s enchanting and irresistible” – MAS Records
The band have recently released a video to accompany one of their more recent singles ‘Cloud My Day’
