hello fellers. noticed you were featured on the myspace music page - pretty good. that show in Brussels seems like pure years ago now. We ended up properly blazing that night. Anyway it was nice chattering and thanks again for the plug! hope things are going smoothly for you. Is Marc (or was it Tom?) still in glasgow? if so, gives a buzz if you're heading out to any gigs or that when you're back. all the sex, los Phantos x

BBC 6 Music, Wed 11th Nov, 7pm - Marc Riley's homepage Tonight we've got the wonderful Brakes in session promoting the release of their new live album Rock Is Dodelijk. Listen + Buy - Album reviews: ESP MYSPACE BLOG

thisisfakediy.co.uk: The strength of a Brakes performance comes from the simple 'four guys assaulting their instruments' idea that rock and roll is born of.

thelineofbestfit.com: Brakes charm is that their rough and readiness makes their fiery sets what they are. They’re a tight band who portray the image that these often short, usually ramshackle songs could fall apart at any moment.

thedwarf.com.au: Rock Is Dodelijk is a testament to the stripped- down bare aesthetics of the band and does well to capture the ‘fuck you’ spirit that makes Brakes so goddamn loveable.

popmatters.com: Brakes captures something of a Libertines-esque ramshackle quality with these live cuts. Everybody’s right on queue, but there’s a loose, free-wheeling sense about it all that suggests rocking out in this manner is not only a hell of a good time, but what they were born to do.

Southpaw review + photos, brooklynvegan.com - The Fat Cat showcase continued with Brighton's Brakesbrakesbrakes and their set of sturdy rock numbers included cute 15-second songs like "Spring Chicken" and "Porcupine or Pineapple" played a second time after guitarist, Tom White admitted he "fucked up the chorus." White was the most entertaining of the quartet, thrashing about and raking his guitar violently along the mic stand.
