“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 COVER BAND, BREAKTIME EVOLVED INTO ITS 1960S COLLECTIVE. THOUGH BORN GENERATIONS REMOVED, 1960S MUSIC PERMEATED BREAKTIME’S MUSICIANS’ FORMATIVE YEARS, BIRTHING AN ACT WITH A TIGHT TRIBUTE PERFORMANCE AND A BURGEONING ORIGINAL CATALOG—WITH MANY SONGS THAT CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR LONG-LOST 60S TUNES. A COMMON OCCURRENCE EMERGED AT THEIR ORIGINAL SHOWS AS NEW LISTENERS UNFAMILIAR TO THE ERA’S OEUVRE EXPRESSED THEIR ENJOYMENT FOR SONGS WRITTEN IN THE CLASSIC VEIN. CRITICS HAVE SIMILARLY PRAISED THE GROUP AS BREAKTIME BECAME THE ONLY BAND IN HUDSON COUNTY TO APPEAR TWICE ON THE JERSEY JOURNAL TOP 10 HUDSON COUNTY SINGLES OF 2023 AND CONTENDED FOR TWO 2023 GRAMMYS (POP PERFORMANCE; ENGINEERING). THIS TRIBUTE-AND-ORIGINALS BAND IS 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.
