It was this time four years ago that the idea of Break Away began to come together. The four of us had just left our previous lives behind and began to look at the future with total excitement and passion. We wanted to explode on to the scene with a big “fuck you” to the lazy, conformist, stale music scene we had previously been apart of, and so we did, and it has been one hell of a ride. Unfortunately the years of hard work has taken its toll. Not only on our personal lives but even more on our friendships with each other. So we have sadly decided to go our separate ways. Don’t get the wrong idea. We do not hate each other, quite the opposite. This whole experience made us brothers. We have been through a lot together in these four years, and have seen things, met people and shared experiences we will never forget. The main reason we made it this far is because of all the amazing people who supported us through the years. The ones who came to our shows, bought our albums and sang every word. Maybe we didn’t change the world like we hoped, maybe we did and we just don’t know it yet, it really doesn’t matter. We did it our way, and we don’t regret a thing. For rock’s sake we’re worn out, so its time for us to say goodbye.
Love,
Joseph, Barry, Joe, Mac

Bastards, I've been watching old videos, listening to the songs and driving home with Lyssa at 5am pumping up the music and we scream at the top of our fucking lungs... it seems like an eternity ago...
I come to your site once in a blue moon...you guys breaking up...was the end of an era for me. You where the last band I ever played with that reminded me of what it was like when a SCENE ever existed. It doesnt exist anywhere anymore I think. Somone take me back to the day of playing shows with your friends, when kids came to shows cause they actually gave a shit about the music. Miss you jerks!
