DON BROCO By Student Writer Nariece Sanderson G
uitarist Simon Delaney gives Loud Magazine an insight into the life and
times of British rock band Don Broco ahead of their sold-out Priorities tour.
How is 2013 Treating Don Broco So Far? Really, really well. The fi rst thing we’re doing this year is our big headline tour, which is really exciting and that kicks off in a couple of weeks now.
