Broadcast Information

|
'Broadcast' are an electronica music band, based in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Original members were Trish Keenan (vocals), Roj Stevens (keyboards), Tim Felton (guitar) and James Cargill (bass). Various [drum]mers have played with the band, including Keith York, Steve Perkins and Neil Bullock. As of 2005, the group consists of Keenan and Cargill.
The band's style is a mixture of electronic sounds and Keenan's 1960s-influenced vocals. They are heavily influenced by the 1960's American psychedelic group The United States of America, using many of the same electronic effects.
The band's first releases were singles released on Wurlitzer Jukebox Records and Duophonic Records in the mid-1990s. They attracted the attention of Warp Records, who compiled the singles in 1997 on Work and Non Work. All subsequent releases have been on Warp Records, or in the USA on Tommy Boy Records.
Since then, the band have released three albums as well as several EPs.
