“Gravity and devolution
ten legs and dissolution. . . this is the breakUps!”
“With the wanton urge to shake apathetic rock from their collective conscious the breakUps are primed to serve-up their own cut of primitive music they call “Rhythm & Punk” and deliver it raw, frenzied and unfiltered to the people. Take a thick slice of Maximum R&B, grind in a dash of greasy Stax era soul and mash it up with a slab of mid ‘60s American Garage and you have the Rhythm & Punk sound that is the breakUps”

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
