“THEIR MELODIES AND HARMONIES ARE LIKE SUNRAYS ENHANCING MY MOOD.” - LAZLO, BLOWUPRADIO.COM REVIEWING BREAKTIME’S GREAT TIMES EP (PUBLISHED ON NEWJERSEYSTAGE.COM) 

​

     TAKE THE CLASSIC HARMONIC STYLINGS OF BANDS LIKE THE BEATLES AND THE BEACH BOYS, BATHE THEM IN THE HUDSON RIVER, AND MESH THEM WITH MODERN EARWORM POP. THAT’S BREAKTIME! BREAKTIME IS A THOROUGHBRED 1960S TRIBUTE-AND-ORIGINALS BAND THAT BOTH:

​​

1) COVERS THE ERA'S BRITISH INVASION/AMERICAN ACTS.

2) PENS THEIR OWN ORIGINALS WITH INSPIRATION FROM THEIR IDOLS. 

​

     FOUNDED IN 2018 AS A STANDARD-ISSUE JERSEY COVER BAND, BREAKTIME EVOLVED INTO ITS OWN COLLECTIVE WITH A SPECIALTY IN THE 1960S. THOUGH BORN GENERATIONS REMOVED FROM THE DECADE, 1960S MUSIC PERMEATED BREAKTIME'S MUSICIANS' FORMATIVE YEARS. IT LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK IN THE FORM OF AN ACT WITH BOTH TIGHT TRIBUTE PERFORMANCES AND AN INCREASINGLY BURGEONING ORIGINAL CATALOG--THAT CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR LONG-LOST 60S TUNES. A COMMON OCCURRENCE EMERGED AT THEIR LIVE ORIGINAL SHOWS AS INCREASING NUMBERS OF NEW LISTENERS UNFAMILIAR TO THE ERA'S OEUVRE EXPRESSED THEIR ENJOYMENT FOR SONGS WRITTEN IN THE CLASSIC VEIN. SINCE THE 2021 DEBUT SINGLE “ROCK N’ ROLL REFUGEE,” BREAKTIME HAS EXISTED AS A TRIBUTE-AND-ORIGINALS BAND SURE TO DELIVER A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE AT ANY ENGAGEMENT. A BREAKTIME PERFORMANCE IS NOT JUST A SETLIST: IT IS A CAREFULLY-CURATED PRODUCTION. LEAVE YOUR DAILY TROUBLES AND COMPLICATIONS BEHIND. SEAN (BASS), THOMMY (GUITAR), FRANKIE (GUITAR), AND ZACH (DRUMS) WELCOME YOU INTO THEIR CAREFREE SOUNDSCAPE.
