Equal parts raw and brashly optimistic, London based punker Tom Brierly has emerged with a new collection of hard nosed garage-rock hits – adapting his new found moniker of Todd Briefly, Demos compiles the best of Brierly’s lively and jagged pop-smarts. Unravelling the pointed humour behind his work, we had Tom talk us through the wider themes surrounding Demos.
