LOVEBREAKERS, hailing from Sabbath City - Birmingham, formed in 2018.
“Bright and sunny and positively beaming with power-pop radiance, it’s a bit Artic Monkeys, a bit Replacements, maybe a touch Pixies, the kind of band that sweeps you along helplessly on wave after (new) wave of melody and hooky choruses.”
"Classic Rock"
LiVES live now
