Brogues

Starting as a solo musical endeavor by guitarist/songwriter, Shawn Gardiner, Brogues from NYC, has built big potential, with the hooks, and great mix of songs that have created this debut album, 'Heart and Song'. A heartfelt, punk-influenced record that is filled with insanely poppy songs beaming with honesty, soul and emotion that get years of listening and appreciation. Featuring ex-members of Morning Glory (Fat Wreck Chords), the musicianship feels both seasoned while harboring that raw intensity that you can only find on a debut album. Gardiner, whose songwriting can be heard on some of the earlier Crime in Stereo releases like 'Explosives and The Will to Use Them', and more recent, Morning Glory’s 'War Psalms' and 'Post War Psalms', has spun together an album of honesty that isn't seen often in punk lyrics these days. The record bombards you with hook after hook. With the feel of Jawbreaker, Alkaline Trio you can also hear the influences that go deep to Northern Soul, Morrissey and Ted Leo. "A true songwriter sticks to what they hear in their head. There is no particular style, but this project has been coined as 'Loner's Rock' - the unique songs and melodies felt when you're alone that have no barrier on style or emotion." - SG With the addition of Chris Huban on bass and Scott Wolff on drums (both members of Bound and Buried), they have solidified their lineup and on to bringing this 'Loner's Rock' to the stage.
