Broadway Mile

INTRODUCING..... Broadway Mile
These guys are super busy, well with the talent that they have you can see why.
 Even with their busy schedule Brendan still had the time to answer a few questions.
Their radio-friendly sound is inspired from childhood days spent listening to their parents eclectic record collection in the outer suburbs of Newcastle, NSW.
With the new EP, Broadway Mile brings pop-vibrancy 2.0 to the Australian music scene whilst retaining their edgy 90’s inspired progressive vibe previously established on their first EP.

Hello,Where are you from?
Newcastle, NSW

 Who are the band members and How old are each of you?
Tim - 25
Brendan - 24

 We've actually been changing our line up lately and we have a new bass player and keyboardist. Taking things slow, so we won't officially announce them for now

For people who haven't heard of "Broadway Mile", What is some words to describe your band?
Rob Thomas and The Gaslight Anthem just had a really attractive baby…


 What are you working on at the moment?
1 month ago we didn't even have a band after our lead guitarist left and we still didn't have a bass player. After running some auditions for the past 1-2 months we've found some amazing musicians. Right now we're busy getting to know everyone, jamming, writing, rehearsing & planning shows. Hopefully we'll hit the studio again soon.



  What's your favourite music right now?
I'm really enjoying Jimi Hendrix…that guy had so much talent!

You have played support to so many talented artists,How was this experience for you?
Great! It really helps to build your confidence as a band

  How do you get inspiration to write songs?
It's usually an emotional thing. If we're feeling a certain way then we pick up a guitar and play around. Sometimes we get magic and sometimes we get trash ;)



  How did you all meet?
Tim and I met through a friend who was studying audio production with Tim. We met our new piano player through a local music teacher and we met our new bass player from Gumtree! If you're trying to start a band then you should give Gumtree a go, nothing to be ashamed of!

 How much would winning Everclear opening act mean to you?
I think we'd all be pretty stoked! It's one of Tim's favourite bands!
 
What was your insperation to lonely girl?
The riff that we play in the intro and verses had been floating around for ages but we couldn't write a good chorus. I had Tim around one night and we just hammered it out until we wrote something catchy and fun. I might have been channeling some frustration from a past experience as well.

What genre of music do you consider your work to be?
I think we've always written pop music. This is what we love. Well, we do listen to some alternative and crazy stuff but our core lies with artists we heard growing up e.g. Matchbox Twenty, Green Day, Bon Jovi, The Living End, Silverchair, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens etc…

 If you could collaberate with anyone who would it be?
Gaslight Anthem. Rob Thomas. Everclear, Billy from Green Day… Emeli Sande (I'd convince Tim to do it)

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, How do you pass the time?
Answering questions is always a good option ;)

What is one word to describe this experience so far?
The interview or the band? haha The band has been great! Do what you love and give it everything you've got. It's better than being a rich son of a bitch working in bank with no friends
  At what age did you develop your love for music?
At what point does a baby learn how to use their ears?
