Broadside

Emerging from a city known for “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death,” Richmond, Virginia’s Broadside are resurrecting that message with punk rock mastery.

Formed in late 2010, drummer and Musicians Institute alumni Andrew Dunton approached bassist Josh Glupker to join his project, and after a couple guitarist changes and over 50 vocalist auditions, the tight-knit rhythm section found their match in guitarists Niles Gibbs and Dorian Cooke, and solidified their line-up with vocalist Ollie Baxxter.

In 2014, Victory Records picked up the buzz from Virginia, and welcomed Broadside to their roster. The band wasted no time, taking their tenacious work ethic to Los Angeles to record their Victory Records debut, Old Bones, which was recorded by Kyle Black, known for his work with New Found Glory and Paramore, Dunton jokes, “We thought it was going to be a heavier album, but we’ve actually gone pretty poppy.” With dancable melodies and crunching singalongs, Broadside continues to push the boundaries blurring genres to ultimately make the sound that sets them apart. Old Bones is a record that will put Broadside at the ranks of All Time Low, The Wonder Years and Anberlin.

Broadside released their second album, Paradise, on 16 June, 2017. In anticipation of the album they released the singles “Puzzle Pieces”, “Hidden Colours”, “Paradise” and “Laps Around a Picture Frame”.
