		<description><![CDATA[Heavy/indie Southampton trio Broken Links are pulling in the gigs and selling out of CDs]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.xan.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/broken_links01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-511" title="broken_links01" src="http://www.xan.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/broken_links01.jpg" alt="broken_links01" width="500" height="320" /></a>With the first pressing of their debut EP almost sold out and a couple of great supports lined up things are looking good for the Southampton trio <a href="http://www.brokenlinksmusic.co.uk/">Broken Links</a>.</p>
<p>And for front man Mark Lawrence it is even more bizarre as the band are quite new out of the box: &#8220;people can&#8217;t believe we&#8217;ve only been together since December&#8221;</p>
<p>Another aspect people might not believe is that their EP is a home recording which you&#8217;ll find suitably metal in an indie style.</p>
<p>&#8220;Based on the CD,&#8221; Mark told me, &#8220;people think we&#8217;re heavy, but we&#8217;re on the wavelength as Muse. We have a pop element but are also dark. Live you&#8217;ll find some songs that veer towards Joy Division.&#8221;</p>
<p>The four song collection can also be downloaded from <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=305262241">iTunes</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001TF1N9W/ref=sr_f2_artist_2?ie=UTF8&amp;parent=B001U4517M&amp;qid=1236984122&amp;sr=102-2">Amazon</a> as the band use the site <a href="http://www..tunecore.com/">TuneCore.com.</a></p>
<p>Its a fee based service that gives you the opportunity sell your songs on these essential sites. All you have to do is create the buzz and Broken Links are putting every effort into that.</p>
<p>The next step is this Wednesday (29th April) supporting Scottish band &#8216;<a href="http://www.myspace.com/thecinematics">The Cinematics</a>&#8216; at the Hamptons.</p>
<p>Then on May 22<sup>nd</sup> it&#8217;s possible Mark&#8217;s gig of the year as they support &#8216;<a href="http://www.myspace.com/myvitriol">My Vitriol</a>&#8216; at The Joiners.</p>
<p>&#8220;This was the band of my teenage years, their music has so much depth. So when I heard they were playing The Joiners I really hassled the venue for the gig.&#8221;</p>
<p>With such determination they&#8217;ll go far.</p>
