The London Fractures

About Me


Live footage with stage invasion...



THE HYPE
- “Infectious, happy go lucky, indie pop with enough sing-a-long choruses to put most bands to shame” – Subba-Cultcha
- “The best band I’ve seen at Nambucca since the Holloways” – Jericho Promotions
- “Stripped back 4-to-the-floor beats… full of wit and playful banter… Upbeat, anthemic songs guaranteed to seep into your blood” – MyVillage
- “Performances loaded with the kind of wilful exuberance that served to make household names out of The Wombats last year and The Fratellis before them” – Winstons Zen
- “A turd on Razorlight’s brogues” – Playlouder
- “I can see The London Fractures having a hit, maybe more than that, and becoming successors to the throne previously occupied by the likes of Razorlight and Oasis” - IdioMag
- “The best live band I’ve seen in a while” – Buttoned Down Disco
- “One of the best unsigned bands around” – Iain Lee, Virgin Radio
- “Come down and find out what the fuss is about” – AltSounds
THE BAND
Upbeat, 4-to-the-floor indie-punk-dance anthems, which are known to have their fans jumping about onstage.
The London Fractures were formed in 2007, and during the year played the XFM Outbreak Festival and crowned winners of XFM 104.9fm Uploaded, with airplay of their catchy single "Cardboard Kid" on Steve Harris' show. Their single “Just a Number” was plugged heavily by Virgin Radio reaching number 45 in the iTunes charts.
The boys 6 track EP “Show us Yours” was mixed by Pat Collier (Maximo Park, Primal Scream), and includes the shout along classic "English Lass", electro-infused anthem "Hands are Tied" and the dark, synth-led head-banger "Annie". Download them from iTunes.
Get along to one of their gigs as soon as you can - Come see what all the fuss is about
