A young quartet from a small town somewhere in Pennsylvania that has managed without a record deal on the radio - soooo there yet. And after the two of them, the unusual decision met a band that already a Major Deal had to leave their own thing to do. Thanks to a radio DJ of them not only so cool was that he has her first track "Polyamorous" just lifted so the playlist but also vorschoß the money to let produce their first EP - which promptly became a local hit then and the A & R guys Headhunter incited by a dozen labels on the neck. These are stories that stand out of our day in the amorphous pabulum from cover to cover planned music and radio scene and make curious. But good for the band even if the first curiosity is satisfied times? To anticipate times: Yes. Breaking Benjamin is clearly a product of the nu-metal scene in recent years, but independent enough to stand out from the crowd. Not only the lack of a MC or DJ is noticeable, but also the musical closeness to older bands such as filters or Paradise Lost - an overall somber mood to act without tearful or depressed, avoid the white and the pitfalls plated Goth Posertums what their ( not completely dissimilar) colleagues of Evanescence is not quite as good succeed. The songwriting is certainly Breaking Benjamin's greatest strength. Despite the hardness always resonates with a catchy melody - to act without catchy pop or corny. This trend is now on the second disc more, the band developed their style further - away from the pure nu-metal roots into something very private way. Definitely exciting, not least thanks to the good collaboration with Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkin and former enfant terrible of the alternative rock scene. For people who her skirt hard but not like a real 08/15 Tip. When the boys go on like there for the next album 5 star ...
