Like, I would have never found this stuff.
Like no kidding. That's my reaction.
Like no kidding. This is why I do what I do.
(01:03):
And that's how every single one of these episodes starts off for
me. Like, yeah, this is awesome

every single episode in the music series has been like that.

merchandise does. And it has been a fantastic.
So up again, I appreciate everybody listening.
(02:10):
Let's get to today's episode. So now I get the opportunity to
go once again across the pond, Ilike to call it because I'm in
Canada, but some of the most amazing artists come out of
England in the UK and Europe tonight to welcome Broken Wires
to the show. How are you guys doing today?
Good. Thanks.
(02:31):
Yeah. Thanks.
Yeah, really good. Thanks.
And doing fantastic. I'm happy to have Henry, Frankie
and Emma and welcome you guys tothe show.
It's been a while since I've wanted to have you guys on the
show because you guys are doing amazing things and I wanted to
show my audience that this show is really good at finding
(02:54):
fantastic music worldwide. So welcome.
Thank you SO. Much.
So let's start at the beginning because I want to get to the
track. The track is amazing, but we'll
we'll save that. That's a tease for later.
Let's do a little bit of a background story here.
I wanna get get to know all of you and kind of figure out how
(03:16):
all of you got together because you guys are young.
So I want to know the full background of how this all came
together as a band. OK, well me and Henry are are
brothers and when when COVID started we we started playing
together cause in England we couldn't go out.
So we thought we would use this as an opportunity to play
together. And then after the, the period
(03:38):
of COVID came to a close, we, we, we brought in a bassist and
a drummer. And from there we've just taken
this further, trying to do more and more gigs and more and more
like publicity. So we've done an album launch
as, as you said, author of Your World.
We did a launch for that, which is one of our our biggest gigs.
Yeah, yeah. So it's just COVID was a weirdly
good opportunity to really get it all together because I didn't
(04:01):
really have a group to be playing with.
But then my brother had to play with me.
He couldn't play with anyone else so.
Sort of playing another local bands at the time and then I
sort of started to fill in like on base for you guys as like
sort of on an ad hoc basis and then yeah.
So just take the plunge. Yeah.
Came became formal. Yeah, it was fun.
(04:23):
So the music you guys are rocking out there, tell me how
you come up with that concept for your music and what are your
what's behind the inspirations for your songs?
I, I just love to sit in my roomand I, I know we play a lot of
like rock music, but I, I like to start with an acoustic guitar
(04:44):
quite a lot of the time, just acoustic guitar, vocals, build
it from there and then take an idea to the group.
Because as a group we're so creative together.
So I'll come like a riff or a chord sequence or some lyrics.
Then when I bring it to the bun,we just bring it to life and
then it ends up as the songs that we've released.
Now going comparing the recording studio to live
(05:06):
performances, what do you guys like and don't like about each?
What are some of your favorite things that you get to do on
stage? But it kind of is different when
you're in the studio. On stage, I think we have a lot
more sort of energy. Yeah, it's definitely more
presence. Yeah, in the room.
Yeah, you can really, really play off sort of the atmosphere
in the room and obviously you'vekind of got feel little tricks
(05:27):
up our sleeves. You know, we all do.
Different jumping about, yeah, alittle bit of a backbend
gymnast, but I do try. So yeah, you really get like the
sort of bull we try to do stuff with as much scope as.
Possible life and I'd also say that performing live, we can
kind of play off each other and there's a bit more of a, a fun
(05:48):
around the music that I get fromfrom playing life compared to
listening to it as a as a studiorecording.
And you can hear it, I think. Yeah, in in the live recordings,
yeah. No, it's a it's a good it's a
good time and you guys make music that just fits the the
live scene. Have you seen that it as the
audience reaction when they hearyou for the first time?
(06:08):
What do you guys see? Do you guys gonna in enjoy that
more now maybe then then at the beginning?
We do actually have a few, sort of like there are a few lyrics
that people have really have taken and they're like sing it
back. To us, which is almost amazing.
Such a nice feeling to have. Your creation sang back to you
and you can see people really enjoy it and it's just such a
(06:29):
nice feeling to have. Especially for me to see in any
part of the song, but especiallyif there's a like maybe a guitar
solo, but in any part of the song, to see an audience dancing
and enjoying the music that you can watch that from the stage is
a kind of a really a really powerful moment.
You feel like really proud of yourself for that.
(06:50):
And I've been a fan for a while now and it all started with when
we first communicated online andkind of I explored coffee rock
and all the all the other music on on the album and just kind of
listening to everything and music videos.
And I got to know you guys before obviously.
I do. I do a little bit of research on
(07:11):
the show, not too much. I don't want to overdo it, but
are exploring your music before I even realizing who the band
is. The music's fantastic and to
know that you guys are creating this, it's just another level of
amazing. You guys are so good at it.
Walk me through Coffee Rock and how this concept for this song
(07:33):
came out. Well, I remember it was a like
a, the chords at the start was just something I've been mulling
over for quite a while. And I actually remember I was on
a plane going to Morocco and I just sat there and it was a bit
of a boring flight just waiting,not doing anything.
And I was like, right, I feel like I could do something this
(07:54):
time. And I just sat down and started
writing lyrics just on a piece of paper.
And then I ended up coming up with so many ideas and I like
started picking them out what I liked.
And by the end I'd written a full song without having a
guitar or anything, just in my head working out what worked.
Now I took it to the band and wecreated what is now Coffee Rock.
Very cool. It's it's a cool track.
(08:14):
It is a cool track. And there's music video to this
thing too, correct? Yeah, yeah.
Nice. So let's have everybody hear it
right now. Let's play a coffee rock.
Broken wires right here on the Southern Army.
(08:45):
If you look hard enough I'll tell you fine.
This broken logic they fast inside.
Nothing. Stay awake days my.
(09:40):
Thank you. If you look hard enough, are you
(10:00):
fine? Just broke logic.
They fasting. They stay awake.
Danger Injection. Thank you.
(10:57):
There. Alright, there you go.
(12:31):
Those coffee rock. Yeah, we'll be on a Spotify
playlist. If you guys are listening, you
already know. Go get it.
Like it, follow, subscribe, support.
Fantastic music. That's what I do here now.
Yeah, I know. You guys take a trip to over to
where I am to North America. Yeah, we did.
We did it. You did a pretty big visit.
(12:52):
Yeah. Tell me about it.
Well, we, we flew over and within, within kind of six hours
of landing, we were on a, on a stage and doing some, some
acoustic versions of our own material.
And, and we spent, I think we spent was it 6 days in
California and we did, we did 7/7 shows in that six days, 7
(13:16):
little, it's just short sets, acoustic stuff, but still really
fun to do. And then?
We headed over to Memphis after that and we did a a full length,
about an hour long gig just of all our own songs, but stripped
back really nice with the Kahan and stuff.
And then we just travelled round, went to New Orleans for a
little bit, which is so inspirational, all the jazz and
(13:39):
stuff there, it's incredible. And then ended up in Nashville
and played one or two numbers atthe The Bluebird Cafe, which was
incredible. Hmm, that's a lot for a trip
like that. Yeah, it was tiring for sure.
Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of different
environments. Yeah, it was.
It was very different to the kind of vibe that we have over
(14:00):
here. Like it almost suited our music
better than it does in England. We often get told we have a bit
of a an American kind of sound to us, which is really nice.
It's the kind of music I listen to.
So it was really nice to have people that honestly really,
really like, resonated with our music.
Right, because you had three of the most unique in the music
(14:22):
environments in North America between LA, Memphis and New
Orleans. That's three totally, totally
different music environments. And I'm sure that it's
completely different to where you're from right now.
Oh yeah, completely. But there's such a beautiful
music scene over there. Yeah.
In every spot, Yeah, Yeah. So where you are right now in in
(14:45):
England? How is it?
Can we go performing a live showcompared to something like in
LA? Because yeah, you just mentioned
it fits. Your music fits a little bit
better here, but I'm sure with your audience kind of knowing
what you're doing, you kind of get a similar vibe.
(15:07):
It's, it's an interesting question.
I think 1st to do when we were, when we were in America, we did
relatively short, short sets to do smaller audiences are really
inclusive kind of feel to those shows.
And I really did enjoy them and I felt like the audience really
connected with that music. But we, we do also get that over
here with obviously we've been here playing for, for years,
(15:30):
local venues. We've got built a little bit of
a name for ourselves and we, when we go into a venue, people
will know some of our songs. So it's as much as the
connection there is brilliant. When we're over in the States,
the stuff we're doing here, having the audience knowing the
songs is also really like, yeah,it it's it's a really enjoyable
experience in the same sense. Now, are you playing on maybe an
(15:53):
A full tour of the States at some point?
Maybe that would not only this album, but with maybe a future
album. Yeah, that that would be, that
would be a dream. Yeah.
We, we would absolutely love to it.
It's very difficult with our ageat the minute with obviously
we've got limited funds and yes,the youngest still in high
school. So yes, it's yeah, it's it.
(16:15):
It would be something we'd all love to do, but yeah.
Yeah. Definitely in the future.
Yeah, in the future. Author of Your World is the
album. Tell me, is there a theme behind
the whole album? How many tracks?
Give me more info on that. I, I think there's 9 tracks in
total. And it's not like a, it's the
(16:37):
albums, not one big story. The tracks are all stand alone.
But it, it all kind of comes from, because I, I wrote the
majority of the lyrics, the bandwrites all the music.
But it comes from my point of view just on like what the
world's like in today's society and like how some people
struggle with how it runs. And it's just kind of me putting
(16:58):
myself in other people's shoes. Like I like to write songs about
of people who may be served in World War 2.
I wrote a song about someone whowent to a concentration camp,
and I wrote a song about Donnie Brasco, and that's on the album,
actually. So I just love to think what it
would be like for me to be in their shoes and then write a
song from their point of view almost.
(17:20):
Oh, that's fantastic. And of course all author of Your
World is available everywhere for streaming.
Everybody should go get it, listen and follow.
It's still early and you guys just released this album in
October. It's just it's early in 2025.
What do you have planned for theband for the rest of this year?
We've got quite a few gigs booked in that we'd like to
(17:41):
that. We're looking forward to some
short sets at local venues that we've we've been gigging for a
while now, supporting bands. Actually, we're supporting bands
soon that have come from Portugal, which we're really
excited for, but we've also got some festivals booked in for in
the summer. So yeah, we're really focusing
trying to get on that performance and getting our name
out to the to the to the, to theaudience really.
(18:04):
Although we have got some some new songs in the works.
Yeah. Album too, Yeah.
Working on album too, yeah. Nice, that's.
Something you wrote by the end of the year that.
Yeah, that would be a goal end of the year to have it have it
written by the end of the year. Oh that's fantastic.
I I I'm just still trying to absorb album 1 so I'm excited
(18:26):
for album 2 for sure now. Any plans on hitting the rest of
Europe at any point this year? All that would be brilliant.
That would be incredible. Would be awesome.
No immediate plans. No, no immediate plans for
Europe. Hopefully in the next few years
we wanna venture out there and really take our stuff and just
take it to a whole new audiences.
(18:47):
Yeah, the wider range of of going international would, is,
is is a dream for all of us. I'm sure it's definitely is for
me. The biggest difficulty would be
age. And you know, obviously Henry,
Henry still in, in high school. I've still got college and
there's at university. So, you know, find finding the
the time we can get do that and and the the money to actually do
(19:08):
that would. Be Absolutely.
Difficulty the the the thing holding.
A dream for sure. It's something to do.
Well, let's, let's play a fun game because like you mentioned,
guys are high school, you know, college, university, age.
Let's talk about playlists because your music will be on my
playlist because it's fantastic.But I want to know what's in
(19:29):
your, in your own personal playlists right now.
What do you guys listening to asartists yourself?
What's on your personal playlist?
I like quite a bit of sort of like prog metal stuff at the
moment. I'm really into like Tesseract,
Porcupine Tree, I love. But I've also, I've kind of got
like, I grew up listening to a lot of like emo stuff, emo stuff
(19:51):
from the State, stuff like My Chemical Romance.
Yeah, over the place. For me, yeah.
For me, I always grew up as a bit of a grunge boy.
Like I love Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains.
That's always kind of been my vibe.
I love classic rock, like Led Zeppelin type stuff.
But I always find like, my home is just back on a grunge
(20:11):
playlist. Like you just can't be here for
me. I think I'll have a very I see
my music as a bit of a scatter graph.
I'm all over the place with whatI listen to.
So one band I was into recently was a Racer X.
There are a power metal band there, AA nineties 90s group.
And then at the moment I'm just completely, completely in love
(20:32):
with their King Crimson and everything they do.
So reading that prog stuff, someof the other other other prog
bands I've gotten into more recently would be Tool and Rush.
And I do like both of them. And yeah, I like, I like mainly
my Prague, Prague, my mum Maine as same as Emma, so.
That's fantastic, no? It's always nice to hear other
(20:55):
artists like what they enjoy when they're not creating, so
I'd always love love listening to that.
That's a great question. Yeah.
Alright, so we have all you guyson socials.
Where would you like the audience list that that is
listening right now to go and follow what you're doing, which
socialists would like them to send them to?
The best ones probably Instagramwith the most active.
(21:16):
On there, so we we have a presence on Instagram, Facebook,
tick tock, like all of them really, but we push into grand
more than anything else. It's what we hear, what we
think. Growing the best.
Yeah, it's the Instagram's the oldest 1, so it's been, it's
been around the longest. It's got the best following, so
it gets pushed the most. So yeah, I'd definitely say
Instagram, but all of them are worth checking out.
Fantastic me too. I'm greedy.
(21:37):
I love Instagram too, so that's that's one of my favorites.
Definitely making nice and easy for everybody listening already

Yeah, I know. You guys take a trip to over to
where I am to North America. Yeah, we did.
We did it. You did a pretty big visit.
(12:52):
Yeah. Tell me about it.
Well, we, we flew over and within, within kind of six hours
of landing, we were on a, on a stage and doing some, some
acoustic versions of our own material.
And, and we spent, I think we spent was it 6 days in
California and we did, we did 7/7 shows in that six days, 7
(13:16):
little, it's just short sets, acoustic stuff, but still really
fun to do. And then?
We headed over to Memphis after that and we did a a full length,
about an hour long gig just of all our own songs, but stripped
back really nice with the Kahan and stuff.
And then we just travelled round, went to New Orleans for a
little bit, which is so inspirational, all the jazz and
(13:39):
stuff there, it's incredible. And then ended up in Nashville
and played one or two numbers atthe The Bluebird Cafe, which was
incredible. Hmm, that's a lot for a trip
like that. Yeah, it was tiring for sure.
Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of different
environments. Yeah, it was.
It was very different to the kind of vibe that we have over
(14:00):
here. Like it almost suited our music
better than it does in England. We often get told we have a bit
of a an American kind of sound to us, which is really nice.
It's the kind of music I listen to.
So it was really nice to have people that honestly really,
really like, resonated with our music.
Right, because you had three of the most unique in the music
(14:22):
environments in North America between LA, Memphis and New
Orleans. That's three totally, totally
different music environments. And I'm sure that it's
completely different to where you're from right now.
Oh yeah, completely. But there's such a beautiful
music scene over there. Yeah.
In every spot, Yeah, Yeah. So where you are right now in in
(14:45):
England? How is it?
Can we go performing a live showcompared to something like in
LA? Because yeah, you just mentioned
it fits. Your music fits a little bit
better here, but I'm sure with your audience kind of knowing
what you're doing, you kind of get a similar vibe.
(15:07):
It's, it's an interesting question.
I think 1st to do when we were, when we were in America, we did
relatively short, short sets to do smaller audiences are really
inclusive kind of feel to those shows.
And I really did enjoy them and I felt like the audience really
connected with that music. But we, we do also get that over
here with obviously we've been here playing for, for years,
(15:30):
local venues. We've got built a little bit of
a name for ourselves and we, when we go into a venue, people
will know some of our songs. So it's as much as the
connection there is brilliant. When we're over in the States,
the stuff we're doing here, having the audience knowing the
songs is also really like, yeah,it it's it's a really enjoyable
experience in the same sense. Now, are you playing on maybe an
(15:53):
A full tour of the States at some point?
Maybe that would not only this album, but with maybe a future
album. Yeah, that that would be, that
would be a dream. Yeah.
We, we would absolutely love to it.
It's very difficult with our ageat the minute with obviously
we've got limited funds and yes,the youngest still in high
school. So yes, it's yeah, it's it.
(16:15):
It would be something we'd all love to do, but yeah.
Yeah. Definitely in the future.
Yeah, in the future. Author of Your World is the
album. Tell me, is there a theme behind
the whole album? How many tracks?
Give me more info on that. I, I think there's 9 tracks in
total. And it's not like a, it's the
(16:37):
albums, not one big story. The tracks are all stand alone.
But it, it all kind of comes from, because I, I wrote the
majority of the lyrics, the bandwrites all the music.
But it comes from my point of view just on like what the
world's like in today's society and like how some people
struggle with how it runs. And it's just kind of me putting
(16:58):
myself in other people's shoes. Like I like to write songs about
of people who may be served in World War 2.
I wrote a song about someone whowent to a concentration camp,
and I wrote a song about Donnie Brasco, and that's on the album,
actually. So I just love to think what it
would be like for me to be in their shoes and then write a
song from their point of view almost.
(17:20):
Oh, that's fantastic. And of course all author of Your
World is available everywhere for streaming.
Everybody should go get it, listen and follow.
It's still early and you guys just released this album in
October. It's just it's early in 2025.
What do you have planned for theband for the rest of this year?
We've got quite a few gigs booked in that we'd like to
(17:41):
that. We're looking forward to some
short sets at local venues that we've we've been gigging for a
while now, supporting bands. Actually, we're supporting bands
soon that have come from Portugal, which we're really
excited for, but we've also got some festivals booked in for in
the summer. So yeah, we're really focusing
trying to get on that performance and getting our name
out to the to the to the, to theaudience really.
(18:04):
Although we have got some some new songs in the works.
Yeah. Album too, Yeah.
Working on album too, yeah. Nice, that's.
Something you wrote by the end of the year that.
Yeah, that would be a goal end of the year to have it have it
written by the end of the year. Oh that's fantastic.
I I I'm just still trying to absorb album 1 so I'm excited
(18:26):
for album 2 for sure now. Any plans on hitting the rest of
Europe at any point this year? All that would be brilliant.
That would be incredible. Would be awesome.
No immediate plans. No, no immediate plans for
Europe. Hopefully in the next few years
we wanna venture out there and really take our stuff and just
take it to a whole new audiences.
(18:47):
Yeah, the wider range of of going international would, is,
is is a dream for all of us. I'm sure it's definitely is for
me. The biggest difficulty would be
age. And you know, obviously Henry,
Henry still in, in high school. I've still got college and
there's at university. So, you know, find finding the
the time we can get do that and and the the money to actually do
(19:08):
that would. Be Absolutely.
Difficulty the the the thing holding.
A dream for sure. It's something to do.
Well, let's, let's play a fun game because like you mentioned,
guys are high school, you know, college, university, age.
Let's talk about playlists because your music will be on my
playlist because it's fantastic.But I want to know what's in
(19:29):
your, in your own personal playlists right now.
What do you guys listening to asartists yourself?
What's on your personal playlist?
I like quite a bit of sort of like prog metal stuff at the
moment. I'm really into like Tesseract,
Porcupine Tree, I love. But I've also, I've kind of got
like, I grew up listening to a lot of like emo stuff, emo stuff
(19:51):
from the State, stuff like My Chemical Romance.
Yeah, over the place. For me, yeah.
For me, I always grew up as a bit of a grunge boy.
Like I love Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains.
That's always kind of been my vibe.
I love classic rock, like Led Zeppelin type stuff.
But I always find like, my home is just back on a grunge
(20:11):
playlist. Like you just can't be here for
me. I think I'll have a very I see
my music as a bit of a scatter graph.
I'm all over the place with whatI listen to.
So one band I was into recently was a Racer X.
There are a power metal band there, AA nineties 90s group.
And then at the moment I'm just completely, completely in love
(20:32):
with their King Crimson and everything they do.
So reading that prog stuff, someof the other other other prog
bands I've gotten into more recently would be Tool and Rush.
And I do like both of them. And yeah, I like, I like mainly
my Prague, Prague, my mum Maine as same as Emma, so.
That's fantastic, no? It's always nice to hear other
(20:55):
artists like what they enjoy when they're not creating, so
I'd always love love listening to that.
That's a great question. Yeah.
Alright, so we have all you guyson socials.
Where would you like the audience list that that is
listening right now to go and follow what you're doing, which
socialists would like them to send them to?
The best ones probably Instagramwith the most active.
(21:16):
On there, so we we have a presence on Instagram, Facebook,
tick tock, like all of them really, but we push into grand
more than anything else. It's what we hear, what we
think. Growing the best.
Yeah, it's the Instagram's the oldest 1, so it's been, it's
been around the longest. It's got the best following, so
it gets pushed the most. So yeah, I'd definitely say
Instagram, but all of them are worth checking out.
Fantastic me too. I'm greedy.
(21:37):
I love Instagram too, so that's that's one of my favorites.
Definitely making nice and easy for everybody listening already
