I wish I personally knew the guys in the Brokedowns so I could say, “Hey bro, don’t break my heart in 2008 like Witches With Dicks did in 2007. Fucking stay together.” Heavier and bolder with less harmony but more girth than WWD, The Brokedowns rock that melodic aggression (see: Midwestern Songs… [duh]) that can have you nodding your head to the verses and then, as soon as the chorus comes, pump the fist. Six Songs isn’t enough. More please.
