| The Midwest gave birth to Bob Dylan, John Prine, Paul Westerberg, and Jeff Tweedy. England gave birth to the Beatles , Kinks, and Elvis Costello. Southern California begat the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and Social Distortion. Nick Millward was born in Pocatello, Idaho far from any cultural scene to compare with these touchstones that inform his songwriting. The Seattle based Riffbrokers, fronted by Millward, are a twang tinged power pop combo that appeal to the consort that read No Depression but still love The Jam. They have two full length cds released on their own label Unsmashable Records that have achieved critical but not yet commercial success. They have toured the West extensively as well as a cross country trip in 2002. Nick formed the band with Heather Burnett in 1999 in Boise Idaho. The pair moved to Seattle soon afterward and have played with a string of talented musicians. Second guitarists have come and gone, but currently the Riffbrokers are back to being a trio. |
