Your name:
Phil Boulter (Drums).
Where are you
from?
Southampton,
Hampshire, UK.
Name of band:
Broken
Links.
Who else is
in your band?
Mark Lawrence
(Vocals, Guitars and Programming) and Lewis Betteridge (Bass).
How would you
describe yourselves?
Sin-filled
alternative electro-rock. Think Depeche Mode meets NIN, meets pop!
Who are your
main influences musically?
Everybody from
Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Nine Inch Nails to Manic Street Preachers, The
Cooper Temple Clause and Bush!
What do you
hope to achieve in music?
Getting as many
people around the world to hear our tracks and perform them in as many venues
that a Vauxhall Zafira will get us to. In this incredibly competitive industry
we're happy that promoters book us at the moment.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
We've been lucky
enough to embark on several short tours of Europe which have probably been the
highlight so far. That and packing-out our local venue every once in a while,
the infamous Joiners Arms.
And what’s
the moment you want to forget?
Almost losing
our Zafira to an underground German car park on a dull Sunday afternoon a
couple of years ago. About 20 minutes of persistence to the German doorman via
an intercom paid off, though! Bad times.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
That has to be
Within Isolation. Its one of our older songs so has nearly always been in our
live set, it has a great music video and a killer riff! It always gets lots of
positive comments too which is always a treat.
Where can we
listen to it?

Anything else
you’d like to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask?
This year should
see the release of our second full length album which will be completed by next
month. We'll also be releasing our first single from the new album complete
with music video which we shot in London a few weeks ago. We're also booking
lots of gigs across the UK and Europe throughout the year so look out for the
show announcements and come and say hello!
