Based in Cheltenham, Broken Jaw first came together in mid-2012. Despite various members of the band having played together previously this new teaming brought with it a sound unlike anything that has gone before it. The band has experienced rapid success, gigging all over the country at many venues, most notably supporting international legends Breed 77. Along their way Broken Jaw have accumulated a vast and ever growing, loyal fan base all from different genres. Nutzie, the exuberant and charismatic vocalist, has been described as “Punk with venom”. Unforgettable screams and melodic singing is the signature style of this animated front man. Lee brings the decidedly metal aspect to this multifaceted band; Lee draws on his thrash roots and combines his distinct heavy sound with harmonious choruses. Miles brings the funk with his bouncy bass lines and intensely addictive slap bass adding a unique dimension to the group. Tommy finishes off the line up with a mix of fun and yet aggressively, hard hitting beats. His masterful drumming compliments all the members’ performances whilst defining what Broken Jaw has come to mean; energetic, unique and attitude filled punk metal. These guys’ love to have fun and are always willing to have a laugh on and off of the stage using their music as a powerful tool to convey what life is really all about…having fun! If you get the chance then you should definitely check them out at a venue near you?
How did the band come to be and where did it all begin? (Tommy Gammon/Drums) Well, Nutzie sent me a message asking if I was still drumming, from that we were back and forth talking about genres and the possible members. (Miles Rushworth/Bass) It all started about two years ago for me when Nutzie asked me if I wanted to start a band with him. After a short hunt to find some other suitable musicians we found Lee and Gammon, who decided to get on board and bring some epic riffs and monster beats to the mix.
(Lee Stockwell/Guitar) Me and Tom have known each other for years, we went to the same school and had been in bands together before. I met Nutzie at a mutual friend’s house party one night but had seen him and heard of him before. We got talking and he said that him and Tom were looking to start a band, and asked if I wanted to play guitar, as Tom had mentioned me in a previous conversation between them. After a few more conversations with him, he said that his cousin Miles played bass and that he was looking at maybe bringing us all together seems as they had been trying to form a band. I already had a few ideas written down guitar-wise, so by the time our first practice ended, we had a complete song minus lyrics which you may now know as “Where I Stand”. Everything just seemed to click into place after that and now we are all here.
(Nutzie Shelley/Vocals) After leaving Create Chaos I was always looking at trying to start a band where the music felt more suited for my vocal style and attitude was a better fit. I asked Miles (who also used to play in Create Chaos and is my cousin as well) if he would like to start up a band and how we would like it to be? After sending a few messages here and there and talking to various people I got passed on Gammons details, who seemed more than happy at the prospect of playing the type of music I had in mind. He then mentioned that he knew of a few guitarists and that he had one in mind that he used to work with. It was left at that and just by sheer coincidence me and Lee ended up meeting at a house party one evening, got talking about the band I had been trying to set up and I suggested he should come jam with us some time as we hadn’t even had a first practice between me Gammon and Miles? He seemed eager and we all went from there really. Although, the first practice wasn’t exactly text book lol.
What has been your greatest achievement as a band? (TG) Supporting Breed77 is probably the biggest thing for me, not long after we were offered our first 2 headlining shows. It's been weird, being the opening band and working our way up so quickly!
Who are your inspirations as artists?
(NS) I draw inspiration from all over the shop and I have soooooooo many influences, which I have because of so many people and things in my life e.g. My (LS) Staying together this long??? Ha ha but in all friends, family and a lot of the 90’s / 00’s seriousness, in my opinion, supporting Breed 77 which was music TV, which is a shame we don’t really the fifth time we had ever played live together. And they have around anymore, as that was amazing gave us a shout out during their set!! how you could flick from one channel with Pearl Jam on and the flick over and (MR) For me aswel The Breed 77 Gig see say System Of A Down, Sex Pistols, Drowning pool, Spineshank, The Clash. (NS) To be honest, I’d say that there have been many Just look at it now??? WTF??? Lol. achievements in such the small amount of time of us being (TG) For me its bands like Motörhead, The together. Be it just making a track from scratch or Who, Mötley Crüe and Led Zeppelin for supporting a well-known band that we look up to. We have drummers. after all only just been all together for our first year (LS)It all boils down to Megadeth and and that to me is a pretty damn big achievement in itself. I Metallica man, For Whom The Bell Tolls guess that I like to look at what’s to come rather than was the song that made me wanna play what has been and I hope, we will continue to progress guitar in the first place, then I heard about the way that we are too big and better things. Megadeth and they just blew me away. In terms of song writing, pretty much everything from Bob Dylan to Bury Tomorrow, which I guess makes us unique What can the fans expect to see from your band at metal as we don't just listen to one genre of mash? music. (MR) I would personally say my inspirations (MR) Loud and Powerful!!!! as an artist would be from bassists that (TG) Huge amounts of energy. Hands down that is our have achieved in giving the music they biggest aspect. The riffs are just chaos. (LS) Well... Me, Nutzie and Miles all have wireless kits so contribute to create an extra dimension of sound. Tweaking their gear to get an epic we are always in and out of the crowds. We also have alot banter between songs with the fans as well as each tone and style (Chris Wolstenholme, Muse - Fieldy, Korn), and plenty of slap for good other, which is something I don't see a lot of bands do. measure (Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Why Not just talking y'know. sit in the background when you can make (NS) They need to expect the unexpected as I never know the most of your instrument and break the how any gig might go to be honest lol. All I know is that generic. we love to play and that’s just what we do.
What's next for the band? (TG) We just finished recording our first EP, now were playing the waiting game for mixing and mastering to be finished and then we can reveal a release date. (MR) Release date will be announced soon so watch this space. (LS) But in the meantime, we'll be playing shows when and wherever we can!! (NS) As the guys said, Ep’s in the progress of being finished off and also lots of great gigs coming up. We hope that we can get around as much as possible really, so keep your ears to the ground and eyes glued to our Facebook page for info? Face book : https://www.facebook.com/BrokenJawUK
