Featured in Brooklyn Vegan, Stereogum and Idioteq
Nothing Moves Me releases on August 22nd via Really Rad Records
“Soaring and dynamic in all the ways you’d hope, building from a tight, propulsive shimmer to humongous waves of distortion, topped off with a bright, yearning hook that makes the band feel plucky despite the hard-crashing sound." - Stereogum
"The band’s self-described fuzzy pop songs have a shimmer of shoegaze influence, but everything is used in service of crafting driving bangers...There’s an undercurrent of tension in the enthusiasm–balancing the grim reality of the storm with an unshakable grip on the hope of what comes after."- The Alternative
“With a droning, hook-laden sound reminiscent of ‘90s emo staples Sunny Day Real Estate, The Promise Ring, etc, [Broken Record] is sure to resonate with fans of the genre.” - No Echo
FFO: Jimmy Eat World, Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive
Genres: Emo, Post-Punk

About Broken Record
With 50+ years of sonically diverse alternative music to draw from, it seems intuitive that a band would utilize the full scope of sounds available to them in order to synthesize something uniquely their own. Be that as it may, most acts are happy to retread old ground with little deviation from the established formulas. Denver, CO’s Broken Record is not one of those bands.
On Nothing Moves Me—their second LP and Really Rad Records debut—Broken Record delivers a lovingly crafted ode to the music that inspired them while carving out a space that defies easy categorization. Shimmering, chorus-drenched leads simultaneously evoke both the post-emo alt-rock of Turnover and Title Fight and the 80s post-punk groups that served as those bands’ muses. Gigantic, fuzzy choruses bring to mind the most triumphant singalongs of 90s indie rock. Soaring vocals and tasteful theatricality demonstrate an unabashed affinity for radio-ready emo acts of the early 2000s like Bayside and Taking Back Sunday. The result is a record that is far beyond the sum of its parts, delicately balancing each element in perfect harmony. Whether it’s in the bending, shoegaze-informed riffs or the propulsive, power-pop refrains, Nothing Moves Me deftly maneuvers the razor-thin tightrope between experimentation and cohesion.
The comfort of the familiar is an ever-tempting proposition, while the excitement of the novel is an alluring prospect in its own right. With Nothing Moves Me, Broken Record ask simply, “Why not both?”
