With the considerable buzz this generated for Don Broco, the band issued their debut, self-recorded single “Dreamboy” in 2010. The gigs led to a pair of shows at Camden Crawl and Download Festival, and an exclusive support slot opening for the post-hardcore group Enter Shikari.

Upon graduating, the band booked a host of new shows in Leeds, Birmingham, and Manchester which significantly raised their exposure. With several songs under their belts, Don Broco performed a series of local shows before individual members went off to university, with a promise that when they returned the band would take precedence.

Vocalist and frontman Rob Damiani subsequently began writing songs with the assistance of guitarist Simon Delaney, drummer Matt Donnelly, and bassist Luke Raymer. Prior to the formation of Don Broco in 2008, members had met at Bedford Modern School and played in a number of local bands.
