is london-based, essex-born, capri-owning, cat-worshiping,
singer-songwriter simon berridge and
anyone he can con into playing with him.
sometimes it’s solo acoustic, sometimes there’s a les paul involved..
people have likened his music to elvis costello,
the only ones, lloyd cole, bob mould, teenage fanclub, buffalo tom,
world party, REM, american music club, robyn hitchcock
and kevin ayers. bromide has no idea so will take their word for it.
along the way he’s shared stages with vic chesnutt, mark eitzel, the
fuzztones,
thee hypnotics, darren hayman, ant, erlend oye, suzanne rhatigan, simon
fisher turner,
katy carr, the rocks, special needs, wet dog, nigel of bermondsey and
spinmaster plantpot.
bromide is fond of lists. you might have noticed that. his mum was a
librarian.
new album ‘some electric sometime’ was released july 2012.
produced by one time gay dad bass
player nigel hoyle aka ‘nigel of bermondsey’, the
album marks a return
to the studio for the first time
since his 1997 debut ‘iscariot heart’ and features contributions
from fellow scratchy
recorders alvine spetz aka ‘full english breakfast’
and ed spork as well as
rising london chanteuse katy carr.
when bromide isn’t busy selling
laboratory water testing services
or integrated CRM software for publishers
he sometimes
puts on the odd scratchy gig - the
next one will be friday 10th may 2013
at the dublin
castle, 94 parkway, camden NW1 7AN

reviews for ‘some electric sometime’ "Musically upbeat, but lyrically bruised
fabulous first studio album in fifteen years from Bromide.. captures the
momentary nature of life, and does so magnificently" pennyblackmusic.co.uk “Bromide’s songs have a relaxed storytelling style,
they’re not in a hurry to impress, happy to await their election into the
hall of fame.. They exist in the margins where all the interesting notes are
made.” americana-uk.com "An irresistible collection of lo-fi, acoustic
guitar-driven pop” shout4music.com "Releasing sporadic, well received, albums of
home hewn wisdom the singer is now ready to return.. Simon Berridge's voice
is as strong as ever, with the songwriter only gaining in sound and fury” clashmusic.com “An album to cherish.. ‘Small Rewards’ has an
infectious pop feel to it that radio stations the country over should
playlist" amusicalpriority.co.uk "Stadium indie rock infused with wonky
poppiness and played with a lo-fi edge ..
this album’s definitely a grower" whisperinandhollerin.com |
