Breaking & Entering has brought a new outlook to outlaw country and protest rock. By integrating honest rock and roll with purposeful jams and politically driven lyrics, Breaking & Entering has created its own sound that can be enjoyed by a variety of discerning listeners and age groups.
Hailing from New York, Illinois, and Missouri, respectively, each member of Breaking & Entering brings their own unique style to the bands overall sound. Brian Sofer's gritty but soulful voice delivers stripped-down, honest lyrics that jive well with Adam Kilgus' passionate guitar riffs. In addition, Seth Goldstein's jazz-laced bass give the songs strong musical lines and Brian Gaza's drums round out the bands infectious sound.
Since their inception in the summer of 2004, Denver's Breaking & Entering have earned their stripes with performances ranging throughout the mountain region as well as shows in New York, Maryland, Oregon, and various other Midwestern cities, demonstrating the bands wide array of audiences and national appeal.
Reminiscent of both seventies rock and roll and the soul-shouters of the sixties, front man Sofers raspy, rugged voice complements the bands refined and purposeful approach to music -- while their organized jams keep listeners on the edge of their seat.
The bands versatility and creativity shines through their intellectual lyrics and everyman approach to the music. Their sound flawlessly fuses rock and roll and twang-tinged folkrock, while conveying their views on politics and life on the road with every lyric and every guitar riff. Not only do their stories set them apart, but also the way in which they convey these stories pushes the band to another level.
By alluring multiple generations and an array of music fans with their unique sound, Breaking & Entering’s unforgiving lyrics and communicable sound are the perfect combination for people who want their tunes honest and hard-hitting.
