The breakUps

About Me

“Gravity and devolution
ten legs and dissolution. . . this is the breakUps!”

“With the wanton urge to shake apathetic rock from their collective conscious the breakUps are primed to serve-up their own cut of primitive music they call “Rhythm & Punk” and deliver it raw, frenzied and unfiltered to the people. Take a thick slice of Maximum R&B, grind in a dash of greasy Stax era soul and mash it up with a slab of mid ‘60s American Garage and you have the Rhythm & Punk sound that is the breakUps”

-Wink Woollary
Dead Music Press

Half-jackal, half-raven the breakUps were born via Altamont under a stiletto moon. . . or should I say with a “cloven hoof in their mouths!”
