“Bedford? Where’s Bedford?” Hailing from Bedford, England, Don Broco is comprised of Rob Damiani, Simon Delaney, Matt Donnelly, and Tom Doyle. Formed in 2008, these guys push the boundaries of rock music, blending heavy guitar riffs with groovy transitions, techno samples, and hardcore screams. They kicked off their 2019 North American tour here in Boston, Massachusetts, and what a night it was! Supporting them for this sold-out show were Chicago-based pop-punk band Sleep On It, Seattle-based pop-rockers in The Home Team, and Canadian alt-rockers Selfish Things. One of the first dates of the tour to sell out, Brighton Music Hall showed Don Broco how much love and support there is for them here in Boston. Don Broco had the entire venue jumping and singing from the second they stepped foot onto that stage. Beginning their set with their song “Pretty,” their energy was through the roof for the remainder of the night. The band played a mix of songs from all three studio albums - Priorities, Automatic, and most recently, Technology. They played their newly-released single, “Action,” the studio version of which features several prominent musicians including ONE OK ROCK’s Taka Moriuchi, Caleb Shomo of Beartooth, Tyler Carter of ISSUES, and Dance Gavin Dance’s Tilian Pearson. Towards the end of the night, they played “T-Shirt Song,” and everyone in the building knew exactly what to do. They raised those t-shirts, sweatshirts, bandanas, anything they could find, and swung them around for the entirety of the song. If you have any interest in attending a live show that will have you smiling, jumping, and singing for the entire night, then do yourself a favor and check out a Don Broco show near you.
