---------------------------------------------------------------------// notes
From the ashes of Buckle Up and Minor Setback here's Break of Day. The five
of them started rocking out in 2005 and they bring you a fast punkrock
experience in the vein of Strike Anywhere, Rise Against and Strung Out with
many (post-) hardcore influences. Fast and shredding guitar riffs, often
including some nice solos, supported by a fast and furious drummer, a
pounding bass line, and vocals switching from clean to screaming are what you
can expect.
After releasing their demo album æWhere Ends Meet Life BeginsÆ in 2006, Break
of Day has played a bunch of shows in Belgium. This way they had the
opportunity to share the stage with incredible bands like Strike Anywhere,
Hot Water Music, Verse, This is a Standoff, Cro-Mags, The Hurt Process,
Across Five Aprils, The Casino Brawl, Far From Finished, Rentokill, Face
Tomorrow, Fire in the Attic, No Turning Back, The Real Danger, Atlas Losing
Grip, Noyalty, Tenement Kids, Smash the Statues, When We Fall, Skin of Tears,
Sparkle of Hope, Homer, The Setup, Belgian Asociality and many more.
The band has also gone through a lot of changes, both in terms of music, as
well as their line-up, since their long time friend and guitar player Jelle
decided to quit the band. He was replaced by Tim Dries, a passionate guitar
player that also handles the six-string in the band Give Us Your Money.
Musically, the band kind of left the sound they had when they created the
demo album. They now play even faster music that transmits a lot of anger and
passion.
On the 8th of November, the band released their debut album 'The Hangman's
Fracture' in JC De Klinker in Aarschot. The album, recorded by Dirk Miers at
DΘ Studio in Asse and mastered by Jason Livermore in The Blasting Room, was
released through the great Funtime Records label and was well received.
Besides some friends doing some gang vocals, the album features guest
performances by former Buckle Up singer Gert Croonenborghs on Dawn of the
World, and by Homer/PN frontman Johan Quinten on Contrast. The album deals
with some horrific political and historical events like the Hans Van Temsche
murder spree in Antwerp, the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the situation
in Tibet. The song Father's Day is about the loss of a father in an early
stage in life, and the celebration of good memories.
In a time where image is more important than music, they try to bring to you
the true passion of music and that makes it an intensive experience to hear.
With lyrics switching from emotional to political, this band wants to explain
to you their point of view. Influenced by political bands like Bad Religion,
Strike Anywhere and Verse, and a history that is too fucked up to ignore,
they talk about historical facts that make their blood boil. Listen,
visualize and create your own opinion on these matters, they are your worries
too.
