THEY’VE recently won Best Rock Act at the first annual Unsigned Music Awards in London last month and Broken Witt Rebels are not stopping there.

The four-piece will be performing at St Luke’s next month with Whiskey Myers who they hope will ‘bring the dinner’.

“That’s a Birmingham thing,” says vocalist Danny Cole. “We’re a tough act to follow. We hope bring the dinner, so they might need a munchie box before us because they’ll need it.”

Playing in Glasgow is something that the band love about heading north, from rowdier crowds to munchie boxes they can’t get enough.

“It’s different playing in Glasgow to the rest of the UK,” says Danny. “It’s absolutely brilliant and a different kettle of fish. They’re rare and rough which we love. Glaswegians proper get into it.

“We played King Tut’s before and there were people on each other's shoulders and it was mad. We’re from a council estate in Birmingham and it a rough area. So, when people are going for it we love it.

“We can’t wait to get back up there. We always find the north is just really welcoming and there are munchie boxes. "You don’t get that anywhere else in the UK. We thought it was a tale and couldn’t believe it when we found out it was real. When we play Scotland that’s what we like get ourselves. It’s lovely.”

Broken Witt Rebels have released three EPs with Georgia Pine being their latest contribution earlier this year.

Danny said: “The first EP, This Town Belongs To Me (2013) had a Brit Pop element to it. We were all born in the late 80s so we were raised on the likes of Primal Scream and Oasis.

“We put a lot of guitar work into the first EP but on the second, Howlin’ (2014) we thought less was more so we let my voice take centre stage. We built songs really slowly and then with Georgia Pine we showed that we’re constantly evolving. You can hear that progression.”

The band have been playing together for three years. Danny Core and guitarist Luke David having been friends from childhood and started playing music together at 16. They already knew lead guitarist James Tranter who was playing for another Birmingham band at the time and decided to recruit him followed by drummer James Dudley.

When talking about their sound, Danny likes to call it heavenly.

“We’re rock and roll with an element of soul,” he says. “We love soul music like Aretha Franklin and newer bands like Alabama Shakes, but we like to rock it up. We’re from the midlands which is the home of Black Sabbath and we’d be fools not to love big riff songs and heavy guitars.

As a self-produced band, the foursome has managed to book themselves into every festival and tour they could this year.

“We played every festival but Glastonbury and that was without a booking agent. Now that we have one the sky’s the limit. We want to play everything.”

“We want to take over the world, as far-fetched as that sounds and it’s what we intend to do. We plan to play as many shows as we can and as many tours as we can. Get an album out and dominate every area.

“Glasgow will be balls to the walls and we’re leaving everything there. We’re not there to be posers or to look cool. We’re up on that stage to graft and win people over and however long we get on the stage we’re making sure we get all our elements in and putting our heart on the stage.”

Broken Witt Rebels will play St Luke’s in Glasgow on December 6.
