"The music they've set out to create is music that gets back to the roots of the hard rock era from the 70s to 80s, music about rebellion and partying hard. This is music that leaves the smell of motor oil in its wake, whether from hot rods or Harley's, your choice. It's all about having a good time!"
Tawny Khat, Electric Pussycat - Phoenix,AZ
"It's a privilege to be around for the genesis of something with such formidable power and potential--like watching the launch of some
powerful rocket ... exploding from the stage. I believe I've witnessed the start of something big--larger than the sum of its individual parts. I highly recommend seeing "Brake Vegas" any chance you get..."
Paladin, 93.3 FM The Bone - Dallas,TX
"Brake Vegas are not from Vegas, they are from Dallas, and they sound like Mötley Crüe, if Mötley Crüe were grizzly bears from Texas. Five months after getting together, they released the hot-off-the-presses Strap Up Ep, a six-song bruiser full of full-on sleaze metal and 80s tinged cock n’ roll."
Sleazegrinder - Classic Rock Magazine
"Deep in the heart of Texas there's another rock-n-roll storm brewin' and just like their predecessors ZZ Top and Pantera, this "Little 'Ol Band From Dallas" has got a big sound and their aim is to pound it down the throats of American audiences one dusty juke joint at a time. Brake Vegas are a band meant to be experienced live and they're taking their brand of kick-ass rock-n-roll on the road this Summer. With good looks and great hooks, tight harmonies, thunderous bass and powerful drums, you'll want to be right up front when the lights go down as Kyle Ainsley (vox), Kells Bells (gtr./vox), Adam Von Schultz (gtr./vox), Matt Slyder (bass/vox) and Beers (drums) stomp their way across the U.S.A. So grab a brew, "Strap Up" and say "Yeehaww Motherf***er!"
Rob Rockfish, 102.5 FM KZOK - Seattle,WA
"Dallas Based rock band "Brake Vegas " invaded the Vampire Lounge last night with the energy, showmanship, confidence and swagger of a national touring act. True raw rock - n - roll!! These guys are a must see..."
Scott Baughn, A.R.T. Entertainment / Vampire Lounge - Dallas, TX.
"Plenty of Texas attitude and sleazy swagger, once you pop this CD in you player and crank it up to 10 it's like a freight train rumbling through your living room from first track to last. This is the kind of good, old-fashioned, fist pumpin', head bangin' music that reminds you of why you fell in love with rock 'n roll in the first place....When they came up with the saying, "Don't mess with Texas," they must have had this band in mind. Hailing from the city of Dallas in the Lone Star State, Brake Vegas is a high-energy powerhouse of a band! Brake Vegas describes their sound as "Blow Your Clothes Off Rock-N-Roll" and as soon as you hear them you'll understand why!"
Tawny Khat, Electric Pussycat - Phoenix,AZ
"Sometimes you just want to drink cheap beer and bang your head to the sounds of a sleazy-rock band. And that's OK. Dallas' Brake Vegas has a lot of fun playing that kind of sexed-up, alcohol-soaked material, as evidenced by its EP Strap Up. It'll celebrate the release of said EP at this show."

"CD rating- 10 for hard rock and roll tunes, and 11 for volume!! Smokin' back line with twin guitars out front, a real rarity these days, harken back to the day of killer LEAD guitar riffs and heavy-handed rhythms. And, one of the most entertaining lead men to come out of Dallas area in a while! B!V goes haaaaarrrrrrrdddddd! And this EP proves it.... a genuine top-shelf performance live band that can deliver the hard-driving goods from the live shows into the studio."
Big J Rock- Dallas,TX
"It seems to me that Brake Vegas really did not have to try. They are exceptionally creative and are simply just playing their style of music and rocking it out. I suppose there will always be a need for bands that play, let's go to the bar have a drink and party music, so this band will not have to worry. I recommend that you check it out (Strap Up EP), it will knock your socks off and make you walk away barefoot!"
sooooo..... love! You know that band ive been raving about and helped book a few TX dates, right? Well the boys got footage of the Austin show...lol and this was only the start of the night. Toss in some piggy back rides, stripclub dances, a keg/shots, parkinglots, stolen cokes and quality music to get the full just of the night! Your so going to have to see these boys when they come back to do another tour. They were Interesting and intriguing and taught me more than they could even imagine.
