Biography

Broken Links are:

Mark Lawrence - (Vocals/Guitars/Synths)
Lewis Betteridge - (Bass Guitar)
Phil Boulter - (Drums/Percussion)

Playing industrial rock with under-currents of post-punk and new wave, Broken Links are as melodic and hook laden as they are dark and haunting. Atmospheric guitars, melancholic vocals and electronic soundscapes form a musical vehicle for psychoanalytical and emotionally complex lyrical themes, resulting in a dark and powerful aural experience.

Originally taking influence from an array of acts ranging from Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Nine Inch Nails to Manic Street Preachers and Bush, Broken Links have evolved a sound that’s very unique to themselves and unlike anyone on the scene today.

Broken Links have been slowly but surely building a strong loyal fanbase on their own steam following the release of two self release EPs, and playing shows with the likes of British Sea Power, The Boxer Rebellion, InMe, My Vitriol, 22, Official Secrets Act, Fighting With Wire, and The Xcerts in the UK, Germany and Italy.

    First impressions... Almost hymnic and a little less angry, even a certain Pop appeal in moments. I love the aesthetics of your electronic sound, as usual. 'A memory of Home' is edgy and haunting. The last song is the official TCTC reminder :) very beautiful... by the way, you are now side by side nr 10 and 9 in my all time charts, nice, hey? I hope the official voices will be appreciating your great work as well!

    Oh, what a mountain of technical difficulties! What a shame... must have been soooo frustrating for you. And from the listeners point of view: the Bass was almost completely muted, to mention just one thing... What a pity! But even so, love the songs and was glad to see you again. Hope the other night was easier (still sad for not being able to attend). Well next time then! Hope you enjoyed Berlin though, apart from that...

    Beautiful gigs in Berlin! Thank you so much! Even though the K17 was almost empty, which was a shame. Maybe the Party for free in the opposite building was to blame... But you were phantastic, both nights, and extremely intense, very special...and I've seen many band's. Somehow everything comes together: the songs, the voice, you three as musicians...it all adds up to something magnificent. Honestly, you deserve a huge crowd and I hope success will find you soon...So now that I again declared my love for your music I close with a final thanx!

    ...spontaneous thoughts: finally I could listen to the new songs and they are really amazing. Couldn't yet decide which song I do love most. Personally I must say that for me you actually kind of fill the emotional gap that TCTC left. And I hope you take that as the compliment that it's meant to be (It's not a comparison, I know that's annoying). It's wunderful that you experiment and don't try to be pleasing, which results in that special intensity.... so, awesome music, thanx !
