Brighton four piece Brakes will be playing at Fopp stores in
Manchester and Camden this April to support the release of their new single All Night Disco Party, from the acclaimed debut album Give Blood.

Brakes, who are currently supporting The Editors on a UK tour, can count Lou Reed and Flea as fans and their debut album was named one of the albums of 2005 by NME and by Rough Trade Record shops.

Brakes will now be part of the institution that is Fopp in-stores – Franz
