Broken Boy Soldiers

The Raconteurs

A high-voltage collision of Detroit garage grit and 1960s power-pop melody. Analog-warm guitars and tight vocal harmonies define this restless debut.

A high-energy blend of vintage sunshine and gritty, restless blues-rock tension.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic, driving bass hook that opens 'Steady, As She Goes' and anchors the entire track
The sudden, explosive shift into heavy blues-rock distortion on the title track 'Broken Boy Soldier'
The intricate, interlocking vocal harmonies between White and Benson during the bridge of 'Hands'
The haunting, slow-burn organ and pained guitar wails that define the climax of 'Blue Veins'
