MySpace a place for friends

Broken Mile are real brothers Jason & Jon (Bass & Drums) and booze brothers Matt & Dom (lead vocals & lead guitar). This is un-pretentious rock 'n' roll music made for dancing to - spirit of the late 60's / early 70's in a classic/contemporary mash.

The band have been described as "A modern take on The Face's rock n roll hellraising" by the NME and have transformed into a strong and exciting quartet through constant gigging up and down the country. The songs reflect the bands desire to have a good time, working as hard as they play, and in the process creating a sound with a foot in both the old and new.



REVIEWS
Broken Toy Box New Music Blog:

"Right the first band I have for you is called Broken Mile who are from the UK and have a great sound about them. They really stand out from the current crop of music mixing rock and the blues in a brilliant and exciting way. Music has not been changed like this since the likes of Nirvana and Pearl Jam pioneered Prog. Rock. Broken Mile have such a great sound to them that's its impossible not to like this lot. I tip them to be one of the breakthrough bands of 2009 if not this year.

BTB Favourite Song: A Toast To Sympathy."

Live at Northampton’s Legendary Labour Club
Feb 14th 2009

Broken Mile may have started out as a “Faces” influenced rock and roll band but they have now established their own identity as a good time, back to basics rock and roll band.

Broken Mile have a lot more energy and strength in their present stage act than many of the new wave rock and roll bands. Their eight-song set played live at “Northampton’s Legendary Labour Club” was tight and firmly rooted in “loud, raucous, rock'n'roll, blues and soul.

Matt is one fine singer who has a fantastic earthy and aggressive R&B tone to his vocals, and is supported by an incredible crunching bass, rocking drums, and slashing guitar chords that suggests a, “total in-your-face” attitude of “Yep we can rock”.

On they walked, plugged in and BAM!, straight into “Trap Door”, Guns and Champagne, A Toast of Sympathy. This amazing set continued and then concluded all to briefly with “Never Listen”.

The crowd gave a rapturous applause, went home with ears ringing, and it felt like the end of a great great party.
Great band, catch while you can.
