Richmond, Virginia pop-punk band Broadside deliver punchy tunes similar to Real Friends, Roam, and State Champs. Formed in 2010, the band issued its debut EP, Far from Home, in 2011. The following year, new vocalist Ollie Baxxter was recruited, joining guitarists/vocalists Niles Gregory and Dorian Enrique Cooke and bassist Josh Glupker. The group signed with Victory Records in 2015, but Glupker parted ways with the band and was replaced by Pat Diaz. The quartet released the Old Bones LP later that year. In 2017, Broadside entered the studio with producer Kyle Black (New Found Glory, All Time Low) for their follow-up, Paradise. Paradise doesn’t completely change direction from the 2015 punchy debut Old Bones, but it shows a remarkable triumph from a band that has rarely left the road since that year. With the line “The sun peeking from the tall palm trees,” the title track ‘Paradise’ sets the personality for a summer sunshine-stained statement…..

Paradise doesn’t completely change direction from the 2015 punchy debut Old Bones, but it shows a remarkable triumph from a band that has rarely left the road since that year. With the line “The sun peeking from the tall palm trees,” the title track ‘Paradise’ sets the personality for a summer sunshine-stained statement. “The whole concept of Paradise is that you should chase that little view of happiness you create in your mind,” explains front-man Ollie Baxxter. “We often put our dreams and desires to the side believing they’re unrealistic, but this record is about building a bridge to reach your goals, your dream, your…Paradise.”

Broadside released Old Bones (2015) and Paradise (2017) with Victory Records.

From the 7th to the 18th of December 2016, the group played in the opening act for Yellowcard on their farewell tour.

The group’s music features simple, alien-inspired melodies that are comparable to the new works of Bring Me the Horizon, but also to Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach. The group plays post-hardcore with influences from alternative rock, which in phases can even go through as mass-suited stadium rock.
