Broken Witt Rebels / Bad Touch

Two of the most exciting new prospects in the UK blues rock music scene will be joining forces when they embark on a co-headline 13-date UK tour in March and April 2017. Birmingham’s award winning 4-piece, “Broken Witt Rebels” will be touring with Norfolk’s Southern rock band “Bad Touch”.

Broken Witt Rebels experienced considerable success in 2016 with the release of their 5-track EP Georgia Pine, which spawned the singles “Low”, “Guns” which received airplay on Planet Rock, XS Manchester, while Low was Track of the Week on Radio X.

On October 27^th, they won “Best Rock Act” at the first annual Unsigned Music Awards held at The Troxy in London, and closed the Awards ceremony by performing “Guns”.  The band was also nominated for “Best Live Act”.

The name Georgia Pine comes from an old stoner reference “As high as a Georgia Pine”, but for the band the metaphor is more about their planned ascension to the top. It’s clear they haven’t come to make up the numbers.

With the title track “Georgia Pine” as their most recent single, the Rebels show their softer side, with Danny Core’s trademark howl melts hearts with the impassioned lyrics "You’re always there for me.” 

BWR invited fans to star in the video, submitting their fan photos and video clips. The video shot on smartphones, in partnership with mobile filming app Seenit, captures the incredible journey the band have been on, ever since their previous single Guns was featured on front page of YouTube for 24 hours and to date has generated over 460,00 hits.

BWR have amassed over 1 million video plays and “Guns” became the 9^th most shared and play-listed track on Spotify in the UK during July.  With a major label deal around the corner, the future’s looking bright.

Over the summer Broken Witt Rebels have played The Isle of Wight, Latitude, Y Not, Tramlines and Leeds Festival. Their relentless live schedule also included shows at King Tuts, The Troxy and Dingwalls alongside the Icelandic band Kaleo, followed by UK tours with King King, Whiskey Myers and Joanne Shaw Taylor.

Due the popular resurgence of vinyl, BWR have issued the Georgia Pine EP on 10" vinyl on a limited edition run (1,000 copies).  Remastered for vinyl, the EP is available from www.brokenwittrebels.com.
