Don't Take Me To Space (Man).The 'songs don't need to be longer that 2 minutes' band, Brakes (Brakes Brakes) are back with their 3rd album, Touchdown. If you get the chance, go and see them if only to watch manic main man, Eamon, turn into a possessed cherry tomato, reeling out tune after tune after tune......

I discovered this band thanks to InSound's free mp3 of the week. Brakes are a UK band featuring members of The Electric Soft Parade, British Sea Power, Mockin' Bird Studio and The Tenderfoot. Hard to get more super-indie than that huh? They've played with Belle & Sebastian, The Editors and The Killers. I like they're sound a lot. And now I want to get my hands on this sold out 7". Why is everyt...

Hold Me In The River live The Beatific Visions is Brakes’ follow-up to Give Blood and comprises 11 tracks of sometimes dizzying intensity, rattled out in a spritely 28 minutes. Rather like Give Blood, it’s a bold, sometimes brilliant and occasionally ramshackle experience that mostly impresses. But the best thing that can be said about it is that you’ll be desperate to hear it all over again

All Night Disco Party..Brakes were formed when Tom White (guitar) and Alex White (drums) of The Electric Soft Parade saw Eamon Hamilton (vocals, guitar) then of British Sea Power perform a solo gig supporting The Lonesome Organist in Brighton(UK). Marc Beatty (bass) of Mockin' Bird Studios and The Tenderfoot (and who also worked with British Sea Power, when recording their debut album) was also...

As I'm new to this mogging business (Hi by the way), in a moment of self congratularity I decided to start putting together a mix tape of new and old stuff from my album collection. I've been reading Mog for awhile and Brakes were a band I read about here and felt suitably impressed enough to go and buy their latest record "The Beatific Visions".I started with "Cease Or Desist" because the song...

What do you do if you're a UK band and you come to the US to find a band already there with pretty much the exact same name? Well, if you're Brakes, and you find yourself in the home of The Brakes, you just triple up your name to brakesbrakesbrakes for the US domestic scene. (I actually think brakesbrakesbrakes conveys the punk energy and edge in the band's sound better than just plain Brakes...

It appears the British rock group Brakes were victim of theft. Guitarist Eamon Hamilton lost his guitar at Glastonbury Festival and has since issued a plea to anyone who may have any information on its whereabouts, according to NME. Hamilton explained he left his Gewa Tennessee Bluesbird guitar in the mud outside the Leftfield Tent, sometime between 3AM and 7AM on Sunday (June 24), after playin...

i love a band that can throw down an AWESOME song in the space of sixty-four seconds. Eamon Hamilton, who was previously a full time member in the SUBLIME British Sea Power started Brakes with two of the fellows from the equally sublime Electric Soft Paradethe guy is nuts - playing with BSP, he used to run through the crowd banging on a drum for a large chunk of the set. this doesn't sound all...

Plain and simple, I dig the rock and roll. Keep it simple; keep it uncluttered, immediate, noisy, bombastic, and heart-felt.Lately, I am really liking the trend coming out of the UK of guitar-oriented rock. In 2005, I dug Art Brut’s debut album, Bang Bang Rock and Roll and this year’s release by former Blur guitarist, Graham Coxon’s Love Travels at Illegal Speeds was just as tasty.I find the
