About Me

Well, I figured I should update this since.. we never have.. so here are some updates for you. 1.Our drummer problems have been solved as of the last eight months which is cool, new news for you guys. Chris has been an awesome adition to our band, hes a cool guy that you should get to meet and he is pretty sweet with the skins. 2.Our recording situation has been pretty icky but is now looking up! We've gotten alot of messages about how we don't have any drums in our recordings.. and yes we DO know that/and thanks for your concern : )! We had some trouble finishing these demos on the site before the guy we were recording with surprisingly moved back to Grand Rapids.. it kinda sucked. But as for now, we're actually going to try to record some of our songs that you guys have actually heard before we post them on the site. And we're actually going to spend alot of time on them, and hopefully really impress you guys. 3. "thoughts to think by"- the songs from this "ep" we have decided as a band haven't really lived up to our expectations... with exception of "take your time" and "for a friend".. and the other problem is that my voice (this is tom typing) has just changed so much its impossible for me to sing these songs.. we did drop to e flat and am taking voice therapy.. but with my reflux problems I cannot risk getting more scarring on my vocal folds.. its just not worth the chance.. once again on this topic I'm sorry we can't save these songs.. but we tried.. 4. We hope to see you soon! p.s. we have an awesome photographer/favorite girl in the world...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/22/2005
Band Website: purevolume.com/brokenmasterpiece
Band Members: Tommy Halpin(Lead Vox/Rythm Guitar)Matt Mollison(Lead Guitar/Vox)Robby Kempton(Bass/Vox)Chris McDonald (DRUMS)
Influences: I've been listening to a lot of Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, and Goo Goo Dolls. I think that alot of my writing reflects what I listen to, I really love all the vocals of all those above bands they are SO SWEET! Not to mention the instrumentals are awesome too.-tomOur influences range all the way across the musical spectrum, from the laid-back acoustic pop of Jack Johnson, to chaotic, hardcore Cap'n Jazz, to the catchy pop-punk of Jimmy Eat World, and folk-rock of Bright Eyes. Others such as Copeland, Five Iron Frenzy, Radiohead, Lovedrug, U2, Cursive, Brand New, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, the Ramones, the Clash, the Strokes... Ect. MyGen Profile Generator

Sounds Like: We sound like a mix between Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab For Cutie, and Switchfoot. My guitar playing is very the Edge influenced, so we sorta sound like U2 too. The Edge is my hero. Tommy sounds like a very high pitched Jesse Lacey of Brand New (I'm just making that up.) Tommy sounds like the guy from dashboard but has more range (cuz hes saweet!). Robby just plays bass. He wishes he were as good as Scottie MacDonald, but it is not so Robby hopes that when Scottie moves to California, he'll give Robby his talent. And then chris is just amazing because thats his job (all arrogance aside if you don't mind).
Record Label: Hmm......
Type of Label: None
