There are two different bands with this name:

1) Broken Records (Edinburgh)

Broken Records formed in 2007 in Edinburgh, Scotland. They use their different musical backgrounds and a wide variety of instrumentation to compliment the eclectic sound they create.

Their 2007 self released debut ‘gig’ EP created a genuine music industry buzz around the band. Drowned in Sound said of the release, “This is magical, engrossing and wholly enveloping, genuinely and excitingly bursting with commercial potential.” They refined their sound throughout 2007 and 2008 with numerous gigs throughout Scotland, including support slots with Idlewild, Sons & Daughters and Editors.

They released their highly acclaimed debut 7” single, “If the News Makes You Sad Don’t Watch It”, on London based indie label Young Turks in April 2008. This received plaudits from such varied publications as NME, The Guardian, Drowned in Sound, The Sun and The Times. Radio 1’s Steve Lamacq made it his single of the week and Huw Stephens invited them to do a session for Radio 1 at Maida Vale. Limited releases of singles “Slow Parade” and “Lies” led to a scramble of album deal offers, with the band excited to sign to the prestigious 4AD label. They rounded off the year by playing at the Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party and being tipped for 2009 in Q magazine, The Times and News Of The World amongst others.

    I have a question; I'm not sure if the lyrics for You Know You're Not Dead on the internet are quite correct. Does it actually say And send me alive/a vibe for I am the rich? Or does it say smth else? And if it says that... can somebody please explain what is meant by that? Thank you!

    I honestly have no idea how these guys aren't big. It's not even like it's unfriendly music, this is the kind of stuff that I'd imagine a lot of people would like. Please can they get some publicity soon so they can take off like they deserve? Screw any hipster ideals of liking smaller bands, let's get Broken Records the fanbase their music merits.

    Agreed, though I rate both very highly.

    Let Me Come Home is a lot better than Until The Earth Begins to Part.
