Long story short: Once upon a time (the mid-90s) in Denmark, 14-year-olds Toke Nisted (singer) and Anders Bruus (guitar player) met in school and began rocking in the "classic" vein, a la the Faces, the Stones and AC/DC . Yah.
They started hanging out at Copenhagen’s legendary rock spot, Floss, soaking up the stylish rogue rocker mystique and honing their chops. After a few years they booted the other guys they were playing with, replaced them with some guys that shared their motivation to rock, and formed The Breakers. That was 2002.
The basic tone throughout is one of unadulterated rock n roll with plenty of punch and verve, and heavy doses of soul, swing and R&B. Crisp, clear, melodic guitar lines by Anders Bruus and Klaus Højbjerg are driven by the heavy grooving rhythm of Jackie Larsen on bass and Thomas Stølsvig on drums. And Toke’s glam-ass gutter punk vocals conjure Rod the Mod in full Faces glory.
The Breakers released their debut album What I Want in Denmark in 2004 and the follow up Here For A Laugh has been released in USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark.
The Breakers are currently working on their 3rd full length album which will be released in 2009 on Wicked Cool Records, run and owned by 'Little' Steven van Zandt.
