Press Reviews
Headlining the show was the Broken Word,
a group of guys from across the country
that joined at Berklee. Performing with their
new bassist, they rocked, and I mean ROCKED
the stage. The Broken Word showed up with
some of their fanbase which showed their
support throughout the show and their set,
crowding at the stage when they were ready
to perform. Even after losing their drum pedal
about 5 minutes into their set, the
Broken Word kept up spirits by talking about
their website and adding comical humor,
while the Plain White T's gave up their pedal.
Once the band started up again though, the
walls almost came down. Lyrics, and emotion
all in one, mixing with a truly genius blend of
guitars, bass and drums was what the Broken
Word put forth into the audience, and didn't
leave one person in the room unturned. Along
with Frontman Dave Bowicks incredibly
heartfelt voice, you could also be mesmorized
by the strong backup vocals of guitarists
Aaron Dishner and Graham DeYoung. An
especially favorite part of the show for me
and my guest was when Broken Word
covered a Foo Fighters song; followed by
guitarist Aaron Dishner, who happens to
bear a striking resemblance to the Foo
Fighters frontman, saying "yes i know i look
like Dave Grohl, so ha ha." You should
defanitely check out some songs at Mp3.com,
including "Fall Onto Them", and "Paint"; and
also check out their rockin website as well.
So the Broken Word officially turned me into
a fan, as I'm sure they did to many others in
the audience. And if you're cool like me, you
will check them out at their next show
Headlining at TT the Bears Place on April
22nd, with Orange Park, A Wish for Fire,
and Busker.. I highly recommend it.
