Here For A Laugh
Here For A Laugh came out in the bands neck of the woods - meaning Denmark and some other places over in them parts -- and immediately started getting noticed. The re-recording process had forced the band to revise and freshly realize the songs, and it marked a big step forward artistically for the Breakers. A far less scattershot endeavor than their previous recording forays, the album has a stylish energy and broad aural palette. The basic tone throughout is one of unadulterated rock n roll with plenty of punch and verve, and heavy doses of soul, swing and R&B. Crisp, clear, melodic guitar lines by Anders Bruus and Lukas Scherfig are driven by the heavy grooving rhythm of Jackie Larsen on bass and Mikkel Hald on drums. And Tokes glam-ass gutter punk vocals conjure Rod the Mod in full Faces glory. Funzalo boss Mike Lembo was turned on to the Breakers DK by producers Kolderie and Slade, and found the music irresistible. And that, my friends, is how Funzalo Records came to put out Here For A Laugh in the U.S. Anyway, were just proud as punch. America ... Meet the Breakers DK!
