After recording their debut EP ' Road To Wembley' in 2007 they have had a great response from it and have done some great gigs, including winning KLFM Battle Of The Bands and going on to support Attomic Kitten at Festival Too performing in front of 13,000 strong! They have also appeared on Britain’s Got Talent getting 3 yes's from the judges!
The line up of The Brink has changed quite a lot in the last 4 years but with Matt, Alex and Gary sticking together, they were determined to find a drummer who was as ambitious as them! They found this member early 2008 in Dave Forster, who has matched the guys in charisma, ambition and determination to reach thebig time.
In 2008, The Brink started recording their second Ep entitled One Night Only with Producer Chris Hayman which showcased The Brink's new sound. The Ep was released at Elme Hall Hotel in Wisbech in April 2009, which with a lot of hard work was a massive success with more then 300 cd sales and over 400+ people turning up to celebrate the release.
The guys now find themselves in Hollywood working once again with Producer Chris Hayman ready to bring out a new EP later in 2010

Well I'm here till the sun comes in the morning,
I'm feeling like this is my final warning,
But I won't let it unfold, be told, then phase me
I'm on the other side and I'm the one to feel it,
Smoking, choking, toking trying to find a feeling,
I'm on the other side of feeling pretty even,
Don't you wish you could be in our fairytale
Well I'm in a place where nothing matters,
I'm feeling life is full of questions, unanswered,
Coz I know, things have turned out crazy,
But I won't let it unfold, be told, then phase me
I'm on the other side and I'm the one to feel it,
Smoking, choking, toking trying to find a feeling,
On the other side of feeling pretty even,
Don't you wish you could be
Coz I know, things have turned out crazy,
But I won't let it unfold, be told, then phase me
I'm on the other side and I'm the one to feel it,
Smoking, choking, toking trying to find a feeling,
On the other side of feeling pretty even,
Don't you wish you could be,
In our fairytale
I said don't you wish you could be

The lyrics to The Brink's song "Fairytale" seem to describe a sense of being in a state of uncertainty and chaos, but not allowing it to affect or control them. The opening lines suggest a feeling of staying up all night, perhaps searching for something, and a sense of impending danger or a final warning. Despite acknowledging that things have become crazy, the singer refuses to let it consume them. There is a determination to remain unfazed and not let the unfolding events dictate their emotions or stability.
The lines "I'm on the other side and I'm the one to feel it, smoking, choking, toking trying to find a feeling" offer a glimpse into the singer's escapism or attempt to find some sort of solace or numbness through vices like smoking or toking. However, despite these efforts, they still feel an overwhelming sense of evenness or emotional detachment on the other side. This state of being is almost presented as desirable or enviable, as the singer poses the question "Don't you wish you could be in our fairytale?"
The second verse continues to explore the singer's state of mind, suggesting that they are in a place where nothing matters and where they are constantly faced with unanswered questions. This feeling may be tied to a sense of dissatisfaction with life or a search for meaning or purpose. Once again, they assert their refusal to let the craziness of the situation affect them. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of being on the other side of something and the singer being the one who truly feels it, while also inviting the listener to imagine being a part of their fairytale.
Overall, "Fairytale" appears to be a song about navigating through chaos and uncertainty while maintaining a sense of inner strength and resilience. It speaks to the human desire to find some sort of escape or detachment from the overwhelming aspects of life.
