The shy and retiring Brown Brogues finally unveil their debut album Born To Lose, after a stint of gigs around Europe, playing on a boat in Sweden and a, ummm, "dungeon" in Manchester. If you're not au fait with the loud duo, they're kinda like every great, rough-around-the-edges US garage rock outfit…except they're from Wigan and you wouldn't be intimidated by them at the pub.Like, it's prob not an album you can let play through while you're doing some gentle housekeeping, but if you're into melodic yet unashamed scuzz that you can get whiplash dancing to, these guys should be your new favs.Now go buy the frickin' thing [here](http:// http://ultracoolrecords.bigcartel.com/product/brown-brogues-born-to-lose-12-lp).
