There have been at last 2 acts using this name:-
1: Broken English was a British band formed in 1987 by Steve Elson (singer and guitarist), who at the time performed in a The Rolling Stones tribute band. He wrote a song called "Comin' on Strong", which had a Stones sound to it. A friend heard the song and thought it was too good to be a one-off novelty song and encouraged Elson to put together a band and record more material. The first single did reasonably well reaching UK #18, however the two follow-up singles did not fare so well.

2: Broken English is an Aborignal rock band from Ngukurr in the Northern Territory, Australia. Consisting of former members of the Yugul Band (1969-75), Broken English gained a following in the 1990s as a premier live hard-rock act. The band's debut album "Studio Sessions" was released on compact disk through Skinny Fish Records in 2001. While Studio Sessions is essentially a country record, Broken English's intense live shows have earned the band a reputation as a hard-rock band. Resultingly, Broken English have largely been ignored by mainstream country and indigenous music media in Australia and globally. The band has achieved a cult following through its renowned live performaces and the tenacity of archivalist listeners who have located a copy of the rare Studio Sessions album. Read more on Last.fm.
