The band rose from the ashes of, "several crap indie bands [[artist]Hofman etc.] and a pretty good post-rock band [[artist]Gwei-lo]" in post-millennial Cambridge (i.e. around 2001).
“The first nice thing outside our own little world was getting a call from John Peel on a Sunday morning saying he liked our first record. It was like a pat on the back from your favourite uncle,” says frontman Steven Adams. Their first mini-album The King Will Build A Disco appeared in 2002, to general bemusement and delight that East Anglia had produced its own leftfield Americana act. The following year saw their first full-length album, the more folksy Cold Water Songs, closely followed by the inventive, adventurous Jesus Songs mini album. In 2005 they released the spiteful, dark Welcome Home Loser, clad in a particularly magnificent sleeve, and 2006’s cunningly titled Balls sealed their position as Britain’s most unlikely indie-country-rock outfit, as they turned up the fuzz and put down the acoustic guitars. By 2007 the distinctly British-sounding Hello Love was well received across the board, the swaggering single ‘Love Your Man, Love Your Woman’ becoming something of an anthem.
Eight years later, The Broken Family Band have gradually shed the accordionists, the cute girl singers, the banjo players and even the American drawl, and reduced themselves to the unchanged core of Adams, bassist Gavin Johnson, guitarist Jay Williams and drummer Micky Roman.
Mixed by veteran producer George Shilling, The Broken Family Band release their seventh album, Please and Thank You on 20/04/2009 and a single, Salivating, on 06/04/2009.
Citing wishes to "quit while we're ahead", the band announced their imminent split in August 2009. A series of shows in October will precede the final gig on October 31 at The Portland Arms in Cambridge.
Edit: 25/01/10 RIP The Broken Family Band. Gone but not forgotten.
It's All Over
The Broken Family Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And kiss, your beautiful eyelids
Throw open, your beautiful doors
And phone, your beautiful friends
But it's all over
It's all over
It's all over
I could bind, your beautiful wrists
And shut, your beautiful eyes,
With the drugs, with the drugs, with the drugs
And kick, your beautiful doors in
Oh shame, on your beautiful friends,
'Cause it's all over
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
I could fight, your beautiful words
And mourn, your beautiful loss
Throw me out, of your beautiful lifestyle
And call, your beautiful name,
It's all over
'Cause it's all over
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over
The Broken Family Band's "It's All Over" is a song that speaks to the end of a relationship, and the aftermath that follows. The first verse speaks to the possibility of trying to hold onto what once was by holding hands and opening doors, as well as the potential to reach out to friends. However, we soon realize that despite these efforts, it's clear that it's all over. The second verse takes on a much darker tone as we observe the singer's desperation. They consider binding their partner's wrists, taking drugs, kicking in doors, and shaming their friends. These actions indicate that the singer is not handling the break-up well and may be struggling to let go. The final verse sees the singer coming to terms with the situation, fighting against their love for their ex, mourning their loss, and ultimately realizing that it's all over, an understanding that is reiterated throughout the chorus.
Although the song as a whole speaks to the end of a relationship, it also touches on themes of possession, control, and violence that should undoubtedly give listeners pause. The lyrics about binding wrists and using drugs, for example, leave room for interpretation around topics like domestic violence, drug addiction, and the harmful effects of trying to control someone or somethings.

I could hold, your beautiful hands
I could love and cherish you
And kiss, your beautiful eyelids
I could show you affection
Throw open, your beautiful doors
I could welcome you with open arms
And phone, your beautiful friends
I could reach out to those important to you
But it's all over
Our relationship has come to an end
I could bind, your beautiful wrists
