WE’RE ALL BROKEN

Pent-up, with a penchant for impressing crowds, WE’RE ALL BROKEN is ready to kill the hordes of jaded music listeners with a new take on an old classic: Honest Rock. WAB are five members with over ten years DIY booking and take no prisoners performances that have yielded dozens of National and Canadian tours, including appearances at CMJ, SXSW, and The Vans Warped Tour.

After seven years with the same line up, WAB parted ways with their vocalist and drummer in 2007. During this time of transition, founding members Joe Sudano (bass), Jarett Quintana and Frank Giokas (guitars) wrote ceaselessly, their frustrations producing a deluge of new, exciting material. Joe Wilson (Welcome Home Travis, Feeling Left Out) entered in May of 2008 after what could have been a disbanding search for a new singer. Wilson not only took over vocal duties but also harmonica and third guitar, adding yet another layer to the established guitar onslaught that is WAB.

When long time friend Casey Lee Morgan (Revolution Summer, Laynemeyer, The Forever Endeavor) joined on drums, the new line-up solidified not only musically but idealistically. Within hours of entering the same room for the first time, “Blacktop Cry” was created and WE’RE ALL BROKEN’s relentless song writing epiphanies began anew.

“It’s not a passing phase, or an old pipe dream,
(or) an immature idea of the life we’ve seen,
this is what we do it’s what we want to be.”
-Blacktop Cry

A seven inch record on Devil Dance is expected for the fall.
