Me & My Broken Heart

Rixton

Polydor

WE SAY

Hailing from Manchester but already causing a massive buzz Stateside following TV performances there on The Voice, Ellen and the Today Show, the quartet Rixton perfectly embody that instantly appealing sound which the public simply laps up. Think Adam Levine from Maroon 5 or Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic. Supremely-crafted pop hits that sell millions. Signed by Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun to Interscope in America, this song has already hit No.1 on Shazam there, sits comfortably inside the Billboard Top 30 at the moment and has shifted over 600,000 downloads to date. Back home, Capital jumped onto the record nine weeks upfront, regional radio plays are building quickly and Scott Mills at Radio 1 has recently had the lads in for an interview. All of this has helped the track already hit No.4 on this week's Shazam UK pre-release chart. Next come festival appearances in London at Wireless in Finsbury Park and British Summertime in Hyde Park, both on the same day (July 5) and their own headline show at Bush Hall on July 9. The vocals of charismatic 21-year-old frontman Jake Roche will absolutely dominate radio airplay for months to come. Trust us, this is massive.
