The Broadways were a short-lived punk band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1996 after the dissolution of the influential ska-punk band Slapstick. The latter's vocalist Brendan Kelly and trumpet player Dan Hanaway assumed the roles of bassist and guitarist, joined by Rob DePaola on drums and [[Chris McCaughan (formerly of Tricky Dick and a long-time friend of Kelly's)] on guitar. All but DePaola also assumed vocal duties.
