Broken Family Band

An Interview with Oxford musicians - The Broken Family Band.

The Broken Family band don’t look like a band who have suffered parental anguish, in fact they look like the sons my mother would have preferred. Four albums in and the future is looking bright for the four piece from Cambridge, major airplay and positive reviews have made the Broken Family Band a must see of the summer.
Front man Stephen Adams has enough wit and charm to win over any disbelievers of “country metal indie music”. Adams ’ English wit adds to the flavour with precision, at a time when indie music is becoming more and more dull, bands like Broken Family Band rule the school.

Please introduce yourself and your band.

My name is Steven and I’m in The Broken Family Band. So are Jay, Mickey and Gavin.

The Broken Family Band is our band of the summer, Creature has found new love, how do you feel about this?

Very good. We love doing what we do and it’s always a treat to find out that we make some people happy. Thanks for saying so.

You mentioned you have been to many festivals this year, can you put your finger on a favourite?

I had a good time at all of them, but End Of The Road was my favourite. The festivals have been good for different reasons though, like Glastonbury was about being there with my friends, and the gig was sort of incidental. Summer Sundae was all about our show as far as I’m concerned. We played this posh festival near Oxford called Cornbury – we shouldn’t have been there but I had a ball.
