The Broken Vinyl Club were a 60s-influenced indie rock band based in Aberdare in South Wales and signed to Acid Jazz Records.
The band were known for their close harmonies and jangly guitar sound and were compared to bands such as The Beatles, The Byrds, The La's and The Kinks. They were often referred to as one of the UK's new breed of mod bands.
The Broken Vinyl Club's original line-up consisted of Scott Howells (vocals, guitar),Justin Beynon (guitar, vocals), Jamie Taylor (bass guitar, vocals) and Meirion Townsend (drums, vocals). Townsend was replaced by former Keys drummer Twm Champagne after leaving the band in early 2013.
Multi instrumentalists Scott Howells and Meirion Townsend got together at the end of 2008 as a means of using the new studio that Townsend had just finished building in the basement of a tattoo shop in Aberdare. They had originally intended to write and record songs while getting drunk on Friday nights but soon realised that they could have the basis of a decent band and so recruited Justin Beynon, who had been in the relatively successful local band Cripplecreek on lead guitar and Jamie Taylor, who had played with Scott in Black Hand Laser Band on bass.
