INTRO...

The Branded fprmed in summer 2006, wrote some songs and released their first 45 in June 2007. After a rockin' few shows in UK in the summer of 2007 they were promtly signed by Dirty Water records of London, who dug their raw garage-R'n'B sound. December 2007 saw the first 7" release on Dirty Water records, 'You got the hurt'. After a frantic 2 day recording session the Branded managed to lay down 11 songs for the debut LP, which will be released on Dirt Water records in April 2008. The Band will be playing all over Europe this year so keep an eye or ear open.....

"THE BRANDED.... Hailing from Malmö in southern Sweden they are fronted by English man Lee Tea (formerly bassist with Thee Exciters) who is responsible for the raw vocal and guitar sounds while John Krantz on bass and Anders Hansson make up the driving rhythm section. The Branded have taken their interpretation of the sixties garage band rockin' rhythm'n'blues sound around half of Europe already and they’ve only been together for just over a year. The band has already released one single, “She’s My Woman”, which sold out within a few weeks. The stomping future classic, “You Got The Hurt” (on Dirty Water Records), is their second release, to be followed by an LP very soon!"
Dirty Water records, London.

You guys are totally insane! Thanks for the killer show & after show orgy we had with you in Solingen! Some might think the aftershow party was a bit too nasty (or sexy), for me it was the party of 2008 already!!!! Thanks also for the LP ;-) Have fun in switzerland, see you in italy for another dance party, your friend & fan, Lutz
