Brian Jones era Stones getting rolled by the Ramones!
“Gravity and devolution
eight legs and dissolution. . . this is the breakUps!”
The breakUps are clearly desensitized and bored by the wall of sonic crap that has flooded the airwaves since “Rock” music started growing strictly under money trees with Deaf Corporation’s intent on pushing pretty boys and gerls to sell their product with “a Coke and a smile.” So. . .with the wanton urge to shake apathetic rock from their collective conscious they devolve back to their cave to make music that has little chance of airplay or mass appeal, but all the evil and integrity that helped birth unadulterated Rock N' Roll. The breakUps deliver music that their revolutionary forefathers would have fought for or gotten a raucous shakedown over.

Half-jackal, half-raven the breakUps were born via Altamont under a stiletto moon. . . or should I say with a “cloven hoof in their mouths!”
BreakUps ~ Thanks for the request. The tunes are cool, kind of retro, something you can put in the CD player while the cops are chasin' you down the freeway. Rock on. Best wishes from Seattle. Jack
