The idea to make a band, was born from the meeting through the guitarist Lino Esposito, the keyboardist Salvio Schiano and the singer Marco Basile. It was the summer of 2002 and the three musicians had in common the desire to freely express their emotions and creativity. The band is officially shaping when, after a big number of auditions, Ottavio Liguori (drums) and Corrado Calignano (bass guitar) took part into the adventure: the team was full!
The name B.R.A.K.E. is the acronym of Between Rage And Knowledge Exist: an invitation to live the life in a fully way, balancing through instinct (here as rage) and rationality (knowledge).
The musical heart is beating Rock: the one of the origins, the melodic rock of 80s, the electrical and acid atmospheres of nu-metal!
The adventure starts with the production of the first demo Studio Session with 4 covers: it was the instrument to promote the band into the rock reality of Naples; the first official exhibition of the five boys in the city is at Xmas 2002 during the Telethon event: charity and commitment make all more special;
In 2003, with the same demo, they took part to San Marino Festival, arriving to the semifinal with the cover of My Sacrifice (Creed).
Very soon the 5 rockers started to fully express their emotions and musical suggestions realizing the second official demo, with the title BRAKE containing 6 original tracks. The presentation of the new songs took place during the closure of the event RITMI, COLORI e SUONI (Naples, 21st of September 2003): the feedback is strong and the public is who makes this event a great one!
2004 is all rock: special guest of the HEINEKEN BEER PARTY (to the U.S. Navy base of Gricignano, Caserta); MTV ON STAGE, national competition for new bands organized by MTV, during which B.R.A.K.E. classify themselves into the 20 finalists, reaching the top poll for the new born I Believe; ROYAL ROCK FESTIVAL to the Reggia di Caserta during which they impose themselves above all for the positive feedback;
2005 is a great year for the band, the participation to "EMERGENZA FESTIVAL 2005" European e North American Live Festival for up and coming Bands bring them to win all the local competitions, classifying B.R.A.K.E. as best group at a local level, and gives then access to the national final at Marcon Festival in Venice where they reached a third place on 14 bands from everywhere in Italy. They also won the prices of best singer and best guitarist of the entire event.
Moreover, in 2005, the band produced by Luciano Liguori (Bass player and singer of Giardino Dei semplici, historical group of 70s) signs for Videoradio, (www.videoradio.org) independent llabel which has under contract musicians and artists of international fame. At the October of 2005 their first album Between Rage And Knowledge Exist is published, a concentrate of hard rock with a melodic approach (that the 5 boys got us used to), soon obtaining a great consensus from specialized press.
