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,
ray davies, 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 2008’s ‘the trouble with.. bromide’.
along the way he’s shared stages with vic chesnutt,
mark eitzel,
the fuzztones, darren hayman, erlend oye, suzanne
rhatigan,
simon fisher turner, ant, katy carr, the rocks,
special needs,
wet dog, six toes, jay fisher and various NY
anti-folkers
including major matt mason and prewar yardsale.
bromide hosts a (semi) regular ‘scratchstock’ night at
the 12 bar
club,

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 + some live
