Broken Hands' live version of their song "Meteor" premieres on Impose Magazine, who proclaims, "What's so exquisite, perhaps, about this live recording is that it's so insanely vibey and beautiful even without the post-production process...To be able to feel the emotion in the song and hear every aspect of it-including the quirky imperfections-can be a revelatory experience."

The studio recording of "Meteor" appears on their debut album, Turbulence, set for release November 4via SO Recordings/Caroline. The song is already receiving significant U.K. radio airplay-its been featured on the BBC 6Music playlist and won a spot on the station's renowned Rebel Playlist by public vote.
Turbulence was recorded in various studios throughout the UK and produced by Brit Award-nominated producer Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Pixies, Ghost). Of the inspiration for the album, frontman Dale Norton explains the epiphany he had at Gatwick Airport in London and how he felt the airport became a metaphor for life itself-"As this ran through my head I was hearing the jet engines soaring into the sky from Gatwick's runways. They sounded just like fuzzed-out guitar feedback and festival sound drums crashing. Then came more images: planes taking off and people getting messed up. Turbulence and paranoia. Engines charging and pupils dilating..." Flight became the new goal, then-an obsession, a theme. In addition, during the recording process NASA released sample recordings made in space and Dalgety incorporated them into the album, creating a unique soundscape and link between the tracks.
Broken Hands is Dale Norton (vocals), Callum Norton (drums), Thomas Ford (bass), Jamie Darby (guitar) and Dave Hardstone (keyboards). Since forming, Broken Hands have toured extensively including a UK headline tour, festivals including SXSW, CMJ, Canadian Music Week and a BBC Introducing slot at Reading/Leeds festival, Isle of Wight and Sonisphere. They have also opened for the likes of the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Cult and Catfish and the Bottlemen.
