In a world where musicianship sits second chair to image it's rare to come across a band displaying both. With their genuine energy and charisma Broken Lane is a band of unparalleled personality on and off stage. Their fervor and vivaciousness plays well through their vehement vocals, and amusing manipulaton of timing and chord structure. The young quartet offers a professional execution of jazz and folk influence while holding a big gritty rock sound and tight four-part harmonies. In a generation of thoughtless minimalist musicians you'll have a headache of a time finding a more genuine, fun, refreshing, skilled, or good looking band. Not that they wouldn't encourage you to try.
