LA’s indie-rock outfit Breaks have built their reputation on a no-frills, high-energy approach to music, and their latest EP ‘Hard Times’ is a testament to that ethos. Capturing their signature grit that blends sharp-edged melodies with raw production, the band are now continuing the support for their recent collection with its standout offering ‘Two Glass Eyes’.
Originally conceived as a studio project by Damien Goyenechea, Breaks have since evolved into a formidable live act, making waves across LA’s indie circuit. Their DIY approach to recording results in a sound that’s unapologetically saturated and punchy, reminiscent of classic punk and post-punk pioneers. Echoes of The Clash and Velvet Underground can be felt throughout ‘Two Glass Eyes’, giving the track this wonderfully nostalgic feel that still manages to hone itself towards a contemporary ear.
Their latest EP has a reflection of struggle and resilience, and ‘Two Glass Eyes’ strikes that perfect balance of an outfit look to project powerful moments, while still looking to make a statement as it plays. It’s the kind of track that thrives on imperfection, embodying the restless spirit of a band unwilling to compromise.
With plans to hit the road in 2025, Breaks are poised to bring their electrifying sound to a wider audience. And with ‘Two Glass Eyes’ set to become a clear fan-favourite, it feels like this lot are already on the cusp of much bigger and brighter days ahead as well.
