Brakes

Brighton's Brakes began as somewhat of a supergroup, pooling the talents of brothers Thomas and Alex White of The Electric Soft Parade and sometime British Sea Power keyboardist Eamon Hamilton to release debut Give Blood on Rough Trade in 2005. Following high profile support slots to Belle & Sebastian, Editors and The Killers, the band made a quick turn around with 2006's The Beatific Visions. The band took their time next time around, recording Touchdown with former Delgado Paul Savage and releasing it on hometown label Fat Cat in April 2009.
