The Broken West on myspace

Los Angeles-based five-piece rock group lists Spinal Tap, George Harrison and ‘70s rockers Unicorn as their main influences, but these ears detect more of a Replacements/Velvet Underground vibe, minus the Mats’ drunkenness and the VU’s sometimes wiggy lyrical content. Well crafted songs with plenty of hooks and an unexpectedly prominent organ result in a sound that should be welcomed by pop-loving tweens, their older siblings, and (maybe) even their parents. A band that with the right push could make something of itself.
