The Broken Family Band hail from Cambridge and include ex-members of Hofman and Gwei-lo. Their extended family includes people from The Folk Orchestra, The Be Good Tanyas live band, Magoo and others.

Recently signed to Snowstorm they play country-flavoured rock 'n roll and sound not unlike Pavement being buttfucked by the Anthology Of American Folk Music.
