Breaking the Silence

I was finding some difficulty in finding a band to review today so I did a simple search on Myspace Music for “Stand”. Either by fate or some random stumble across the song Stand, I found Breaking the Silence. They have a very solid sound; every instrument is lined up perfectly with the rest of the band. This band features a female vocalist in a very tasteful way. She takes center stage while a male vocalist sings backups. This combination makes an nice clean and full sound. I like what the band has to say about their sound:

Breaking the Silence is easily recognized by their unique sound. With chunky riffs, monstrous and catchy choruses, and drum beats that make it impossible not to bang your head, this band is the next big thing in the “big-rock” scene.

They are so absolutely sure of their sound that they are willing to call it the next big thing. That says something about their confidence and knowledge of music. Everything that I’ve heard from this band uses some of the most complex rhythms and sounds that I’ve ever heard. They even have some interesting sound effects such as in the beginning and verse of Under God.

I honestly believe that I have no complaints with Breaking the Silence. That is very rare for me. The recording are great (they should be since they were produced by Travis Wyrick of POD) and the music is catchy. In the end all it really takes for a song to be liked is how catchy it is (just look at Gibberish by Relient K). I applaud whoever writes the songs in this band.

Final Word
Breaking the Silence is a band of great musicians who love what they do and may actually be the next “big thing”. They really know how to have the rollercoaster effect within their songs which gives amazing energy to the choruses and still brings it down for the more intricate verses. I really think that these guys (and girl) can make something of themselves as long as they keep focused and never lose hope. Best of luck guys! Check them out here.
