About Me

Surrounded By Breakers is Joe Cassese, Nick Cassese and Sam Larson. We are based out of Seattle and formed in September 2007. Currently the band is working on its debut album slated to come out summer 2008.The songs are done and we’re heading into the studio to complete recording and mix down. Tim Wielgus, exguitarist of Maverick Records’ recording artist Innercourse is recording and producing the album.Joe and Nick are embarking on their first project since their award winning central California band Two A Day ended its five-year run in 2006 while Sam played most recently with his nationally touring band Honey Tongue.We have played hundreds of shows through the years and have played or toured with Pete Yorn, The Mad Caddies, Jack Johnson, Agent Orange, Karl Alvarez, Bobby Bare Jr., Dada, Goodness, The Radiators, Gruntruck and others across the world.We all met through mutual friends and discovered we had similar circumstances, influences and experiences. We were all looking for the right situation to start a new band and luckily enough it worked out. We are currently booking shows in the Northwest in support of our upcoming release.

The songs are finally up!

Well we all thought the album would be done by now but we have experienced some delays. On the good side we love the songs we have already recorded and were heading up to a cabin in northern Washingto...
