Biography

Broken Fires write massive alternative indie pop with huge melodies and outrageous outros. For fans of Frightened Rabbit, Ben Folds, Pinegrove and Manchester Orchestra 
 Broken Fires uploaded ‘Out of the Woods’ to BBC Introducing on New Years Day 2014 and it was immediately picked up for play that day by Jen Long BBCR1. Broken Fires quickly recorded their debut EP, which sold out of its limited run, and led to a series of shows culminating in a sold out gig on a boat on the Thames. 
 On the strength of these early songs, the band won BBC Horizons Launchpad Funding to support the making of their first album. Recorded in bedrooms across Swansea and London in 2015, ‘Silhouettes’ combines the multi-instrumental landscapes of Arcade Fire with the honest and emotive melody of Frightened Rabbit. Tracks Elephants, Flesh and Blood and Brand New Start picked up high praise from online critics including Killing Moon, Indie Obsessive and Stereoboard, radio play and syncs including MTV The Real World, Teen Moms, The Challenge and (much to their mothers’ delight) BBC Eastenders. 
After time away pursuing side projects, Broken Fires are ready to return with a second full length LP. Mixed by Matt Lederman, the man behind the desk for The Rural Alberta Advantage award winning album ‘Mended with Gold’ it comes with heart, bravery and serious weight. If you like your melodies big, your lyrics honest, and have no fear of a pop song that takes a completely unexpected turn, then get involved.
