The ‘Breaks’ started, as a collective of musicians from the hills of North Devon who all had their own musical outlets. Collaborating their styles in early 2005 with the idea of having a jam. Soon after, a gig was organized and the ‘Breaks’ were born. In the early gigs there was a lot of improvisation and through those times they realised that something good was brewing.
They have in the past released a couple of E.P.'s ‘Short Guy Long Trousers’ and ‘Broken’, but last year released their debut album entitled ‘Finally’. The success from the album has built up an even more dedicated fan base for tight 7-piece Hip Hop Fusion band who continue to sell out every venue they play.
Through their diverse musical appeal, the collective have been fortunate enough to share the stage with the likes of ‘Toots and the Maytals’, Jazz legend ‘Courtney Pine’, ‘Gilles Peterson’, ‘The Pharcyde’ and ‘The Scratch Perverts’ to name a few. Furthermore they were warmly received headlining at Europe's premier extreme sports festival ‘Gold Coast Ocean Fest ‘as well as the ‘Fat Face’ night air world freestyle mountain board championships.
2009 and ‘The ‘Breaks collective’ are currently writing a new album, which will be released next year plus they will be continuing to post tons of recorded live shows on this site, ‘YouTube’ and myspace/SouthWestCollective.
