Break!

Rock Alternative Punk

i <3 BREAK!

Like modern-day Joads, Los Angeles transplants BREAK! have found fertile soil amidst the urban decay and are planting heirloom musical seeds of the varietals rock, punk, alternative, grunge, and post-punk.

Filled with edgy, energetic hard rock riffs counterbalanced with alt rock textures and pointed punk effusing, theirs is a welcome kick in the teeth, something real and visceral though likely esoteric in this world of looping dance grooves. There is a rhythmic drive in their music that calls forth movement and gyration, while biting and playful lyrics weave together this odd tapestry.

BREAK!! (their second album) was released in 2025. Self-produced and recorded in the band's North Hollywood, and mixed by Zardonic, with initial mixes by Break! and Daniel Iantuonono. These sophomores shake of slump and present a thematic 11 fresh cuts, with stand outs including Sun Drenched,Bullet to Bite,Quarantine With Me,Oakland Nights, and Bad Vibes, Good Times.

Turn it on, crank it up, find the nearest highway and mash the gas pedal – it will all make sense as the mad world turns motion blur.
