After watching Hey! Colossus, Part Chimp and Lords in Leeds, JoJo was enticed into the dark world of rock...more so than usual. She had found the true meaning of life. Spurned on by that single experience, and a very strange night to boot, JoJo asked Lianne to assist her in her adventure to make the universe crumble. Lianne was only too happy to hammer the shit out of Monty, her beloved kit. Breaking Colts were born.
HERE'S WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY
"Breaking Colts...tearing flesh back to death-white bone. Heavy hair, inaudible mumbles, fuzzy bass plunges, ovarian jazz! I'm pinned down by bizarre metaphors, rushing in through the spaces in their music. The bassist's thigh-bone, clad in black denim, is the loudest symbol. Everything onstage is amplified, even the final splintering of drumsticks. BC like 10,000 BC."
"They are the loudest band I have seen in years and the experience was not unlike standing infront of a sonic Jet engine for half and hour-but in an amazing way."
Here are some of the bands we've played:
WHITE MICE, MAGIK MARKERS, Joeyfat, Lords, Hey Colossus, Kong, Atavist, Sincabeza, Souvaris + Mugstar.
"Thank You is an athletic rhythm/action unit from Baltimore, made up of Jeffrey McGrath, Michael Bouyoucas, and Emmanuel Nicolaidis. The band has been building up a reputation via their live show, combining tribal beatdowns, organ freakouts and joyful chanting which has left audience members overwhelmed, and ready to spread the word.
