Shadows

Breed 77

Alberts

WE SAY

The Breed 77 album has sold over 20,000 copies. They've had one top 40 single and another just outside. All on an independent rock label. How? Partly because of a really dedicated, focused campaign. Great press and acclaim for the live shows have helped. But most of all, the music is just great - credible rock with great melodies. This is the fourth outstanding single from their album and the fourth to have been a Record of the Day (rather an unusual feat!). They deserve massive mainstream exposure from Later to Radio 1 to CDUK. They play London's Mean Fiddler on January 29.
