Delivering a stunning hit of contemporary, blues-inspired rock‘n’roll, ‘Running…’ is a galloping, flag-flying anthem with an infectious stadium-sized chorus sprinkled with a dose of modern Nashville-meets-cutting-edge-pop flavour; a sonic cocktail that has seen the band dubbed “the Brummie Kings Of Leon”, inspired by the likes of Rival Sons, Kaleo and Alabama Shakes.
Vocalist Danny Core comments, “It's a song about not waiting for things to happen and taking opportunities when they come up. If you want it, go get it and make your own destiny no matter what the hurdles are. Don’t let anyone hold you back.”
‘Running With The Wolves’ follows in pursuit of the band’s recent release ‘Money’, which served as the first glance at OK Hotel. The album is available to pre-order now at https://brokenwittrebels.lnk.to/OKHotel
Broken Witt Rebels have strengthened and perfected their identity since their incarnation in 2015, having worked independently across a series of acclaimed EPs supported by headline and support shows in both Europe and the US, taking in a Stateside run with Texan rockers Whiskey Myers plus European dates with Blue October. In addition, the four have appeared at a host of major European festivals – these include Reading and Leeds, Download UK, Wacken Open Air, Camden Rocks and The Great Escape.
The band – James Tranter (guitar), Luke Davis (bass) and James Dudley (drums), along with the aforementioned Core on vocals – released their debut self-titled album in 2017, cementing their reputation as one of Britain's finest emerging guitar outfits; building on this momentum, they are currently on the road for a series of headline UK shows, starting in Bristol, visiting Newcastle and Glasgow this week, and featuring a London date at Boston Music Room on December 13th.
Now as anticipation builds for their 2020 follow-up album, Broken Witt Rebels have also announced live plans for the new year; these plans will see them heading back out for more UK headline dates in March and April, supporting the album release and playing a whole new set of fresh material honed for the 21st century.

ADDITIONAL INFO ON OK HOTEL
Produced byThe Wind and The Wave’s Dwight Bakerat Bear Creek Studios in Austin, Texas, these 13 new songs have the fresh feel of a band looking to seriously move the needle; all of the personal, emotive aspects of the Broken Witt Rebels’ sound remain intact, but now everything is honed to a sharper point, the vision bigger and broader, the production giving full rein to the commercial ambition of the songs.
“We didn’t want to go to Austin and make the first album again,”saysCore.“We wanted to change the parameters.”
