With an unrivaled passion and a deep determination to succeed, Broadside announce that they have signed to independent label SharpTone Records.
The band is making their label debut with brand new single “Foolish Believer,” Vocalist Ollie Baxxter had this to say about the track:
When I was 11 years old, I would sit on the edge of my bed and look at the cheap Walmart mirror hanging on the back of my bedroom door and pity the reflection. I realized at a young age I hated being alone even though I was incredibly good at it. Now, as an adult, I find myself chasing a dream that feels unattainable in hopes that I don’t have to see what I once did. I pay my own rent, I can afford a better mirror but the reflection still feels the same. I just want to be remembered. That’s the moral of the song. It’s selfish, to dream as much as I do but I’m sick of pretending I’m fine behind closed doors, I’m just not.
“Coffee Talk,” from the band’s 2015 debut album, Old Bones, has been streamed more than13 million times on Spotify. Songs like “Come & Go” and “Storyteller” likewise became anthems for an audience in tune with Ollie’s tales of brokenness and triumph, as the band was hailed as part of the vanguard of a punk-rooted pop-rock resurgence.
