The Electric Soft Parade	Nov 6 2009 1:14 PM 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.

The Electric Soft Parade	Oct 9 2009 3:43 AM 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.
