BREAK TO BROKEN formed in October of 2020 during a global pandemic which left the world in an isolating lockdown. Aussie, Clinton Maher, was looking for like-minded collaborators to help pull through his vision for a new music project. A post on a message board connected him with Eli Nowak and Justin Rauschkolb, both veterans of the late 90’s New Jersey punk scene, and the trio was formed. In spite of living on opposite sides of the globe, the three forged an instant musical bond and began to collaborate on songs.
Their debut album, The War on Sparrows delivers 12 songs ranging from ripping post punk/hardcore to introspective, almost dreamy, indie rock. The individual style, vocals, and lyrics of each member merge throughout the album, creating a unique sonic connection through a virtual collaboration.
