The Break

At least 2 bands go by the name of The Break 1) The Break - New Jersey. Most bands in the world can be lumped into one category or another, they are shuffled, redefined, and in that way they begin to lose the qualities that could make them important or meaningful. The greatest bands, the most influential or memorable, are the ones who don't try to fill the role set for them, who don't pursue anything other than the desire to make music, and the need to express that art to an audience. From the start, The Break has had this aesthetic in mind.

One More For The Road was the first disc released by the band in 2004 which sold nearly 4,000 units across Canada.

Following the moderate success of One More for the Road, Ten Second Epic wasted little time and soon found themselves recording at Canadian super producer Garth Richardson’s Farm Studios in Gibsons, British Columbia.

Lyu

Combining intricate melodies, driving punk fuelled rhythms and a totally infectious sense of passion, Birmingham based LYU are blazing a trail for Brit Rockers in 2009. Their latest release, the five track ear-bomb that is ‘The Sky Is Yours’, is a massive slab of gutsy melodic punk rock and a hearty demonstration of just where this four piece want to take their music. LYU had an early start in life – they took their first steps into the world of guitar heavy rock-dom at the tender age of just TWELVE! Initially a three piece (Rob Taylor joined as a second guitarist in 2007)...
