Bromheads are a two-piece English garage rock band originating from Sheffield, England

Bromheads (Originally Bromheads Jacket) was formed in Sheffield in 2005, from the ashes of a band called Fixated.

Their first album, Dits from the Commuter Belt, was released on 13 November 2006, and was followed by a tour of over 30 gigs around the UK supported by the Middlesbrough group The Oxfam Glamour Models.
