On February 22nd of this year, the Danish band, The Bronson Brothers released their debut album The Melody Bronson. Prior to the album’s release, their single, The Tide, was widely distributed throughout Europe.

As many of you may know, the BRIT Awards took place last night. I’m not going to do a full recap, but you can find a compete synopsis of the show at the Daily Mail. Here is a quick round-up of the results and few performances from the night:
