bromide

is london-based, essex-born, capri-owning, cat-worshiping, singer-songwriter simon berridge and

anyone he can con into playing with him.

 

bromide plays mid-fi acoustic folk pop. people have likened his music to elvis costello,

american music club, the only ones, lloyd cole, robyn hitchcock and kevin ayers.

bromide has no idea so will take their word for it.

 

so far there have been three albums on his own scratchy records label –

iscariot heart, no.space.anymore.even.inbetween.words

and last year’s ‘the trouble with.. bromide.

 

along the way he’s shared stages with vic chesnutt, mark eitzel,

darren hayman, erlend oye, suzanne rhatigan, the fuzztones,

the rocks, simon fisher turner, katy carr and NY anti-folker

major matt mason.

 

bromide hosts a regular ‘scratchstock’ night at the 12 bar

club, denmark street, london WC2H 8NL. the next one is

monday 18th may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

reviews for ‘the trouble with... bromide’:

 

ultra-catchy, jangly acoustic pop that reminds you of lloyd cole, teenage fanclub or american music club” soundsxp.com

 

“memorable slices of acoustic whimsy” ***

Q magazine

 

“An off-kilter look at the traumas, troubles, and triumphs of love Berridge has an air of a man at ease with his emotions, able to take the hits and still come back fighting for more. ‘Looking For Aliens’ would have even the most depressed student up on the dancefloor stretching their drainpipes.. whilst his take on GBV’s ‘Game Of Pricks’ is worthy of the old dog’s themselves.”  americana-uk.com
