Broken Lines is a three-piece who harbour as much piss and vinegar as they do snarling spirit, their sound is impossible to pigeon-hole, let alone cage. Fusing together elements from many genres to form a triumvirate of uncompromising alternative rock.
"What a great song!
All sorts of things going on there, it reminded me of classic German Krautrock courtesy of Neu!, a bit of New Order filtering the Velvet Underground and most of all, the crazed, New York, avant-garde, rockabilly of the late Alan Vega (aka Suicide)
That's what's good about it, music has a wonderful emotional impact on you, each of us feels it differently, but we all feel something."

"Absolutely brilliant band!!xxx"

"When I listened to 'Black Space', I was immediately reminded of The Doors. Both the atmosphere of the song and the sound made me think of them. I enjoy the psychedelic, spacey vibe. 'Sweet Lips' had some pretty cool bass work. It was heavier and more a 'rockier' feel. Both songs are different, but your voice works great with either style. "

Christmas Charity Single for 2020
We have just released our Christmas Charity Single with all proceeds going to Shelter Cymru - supporting the homeless in Wales.
Available on Bandcamp or you can donate directly through our Justgiving page.
We are determined to close 2020 on a positive note by releasing our 2020 charity Christmas single. Christmas is a time of giving, caring and sharing and no amount of Covid-19 can shut that down!
It is currently believed that 90,000 Welsh residents are in danger of losing their homes in coming months. Homelessness is a long standing problem anyway but job and income losses this year have compounded the situation and winter months always place a huge strain on shelter charities. Whatever we can raise with this record we know can help to make a difference
We spent two weeks working in our production suite to write and record the song which very deliberately emphasises the positivity of Christmas. We decided to write one that was an upbeat reflection of this time of year. After such a difficult 2020 we thought we'd try and provide a bit of light relief by highlighting all the things that make the season a happy one and we hope everyone can get a little bit of a warm feeling from it!
Thank you :-)

SoundBoard Album Review - Liberation
Broken-Lines is Jack Jackson, Mark Briscoe and David Wellan and together they've recorded an album that stands out from the generic, mediocre trash that gets labelled as rock these days.
Liberation is ten original tracks and has it's roots in the much maligned pysch-prog mould but with enough modern touches and punk influences to lift it from that magnificent subgenre and off into the stratosphere of legendary Welsh rock.
These guys are taking no prisoners on this one and rightly so, you're either along for the ride or you can get off the fuckin' bus.
Broken Lines have been a part of the Pembrokeshire music scene for some time and along with Sendelica, are making waves that are far reaching, so sit up and take notice because these guys are here to stay. Get your copy now. MK
