The Breaking

Biography:

The Breaking is here for one reason: To make great rock music that they love and that, in turn, others love as well. Their songs are simple and easy to follow while also catchy and extremely entertaining. They'll blow your minds live and blow out your stereo at home.

The Breaking is a band without egos. They consider themselves fans of rock music and perpetuaters of it. Major influences include Chevelle, Rise Against, Anberlin and Blindside.

Kevin Durkin (vocals) brings a very melodic and accessible voice to the music and has been compared to Brandon Boyd (Incubus). He, along with Kevin DeCapite (bass) are both imports to Southern California. Durkin calls New Jersey his home state and DeCapite was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio (yes, he can admit this openly). Jaysin Sheahan (guitars) and Rusty Dugan (drums) are both native Southern Californians from Orange County.

Having all played in a variety of other bands prior to The Breaking, this current lineup was finalized in May 2007 and the band immediately completed a 6 song EP ("Don't You Know") and full-budget music video (directed by Stuart Ortiz).
