History

Formed in 2010, Broadside have shared the stage with bands such as The Ataris, A Loss for Words, Such Gold, Title Fight, Forever Came Calling, and Polar Bear Club.[3][4][5] In June 2011 the band self-released their five-song EP, Far From Home, which was then re-recorded in 2012 with five additional tracks to become their first full-length album by the same name and put out on independent Japanese record label Ice Grill$ Records.[6][7]

In January 2013 the band announced they had recruited Ollie Baxxter as their new lead vocalist.[8] In October they released a music video for "Storyteller",[9][10] followed by a video for their original holiday-themed "Wish List" in December.[11]

Broadside spent the first half of 2014 touring and playing shows with various artists including Of Fortune and Fame, Old Again, Battleghost.[12][13][14] In October 2014 Broadside contributed a demo version of their song "Avery" in partnership with Hope For the Day and PropertyOfZack to help raise awareness for suicide prevention.[15][16]

On March 10, 2015, it was announced that the band had signed to Victory Records, which was accompanied by pre-orders for Old Bones set for release on May 19, 2015, along with a music video for the new single "Coffee Talk".[2][17][18] In late September, 2015, founding member Bassist Josh Glupker left for undisclosed reasons.

On June 16, 2017, the band released its second studio album, Paradise.[19] On July 8, 2017, the album peaked at the No. 17 position on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[20]
