ae1c57c1-ec55-47c9-94bd-840cdd0483a1

With the lyric video for The Pond the band ends the cycle of the namesake LP released in late 2019.

In late February, Break Me Down announced a line-up change introducing, to their fans, Veronica as their new singer. Her peculiar bluesy-dark vocal dynamic gives the additional quid that the band was looking for the completion of the project.

The lyric video is a dedication to all the supporting people a band would be nothing without: the fans. Break Me Down will always be grateful to them and declare: “Thank you for all your support, love and explosive energy you show everyday. This new project is dedicated to all of you!”.

Veronica Driven, new singer of the band, says: “I have to admit I was terrified when I first joined the band, given the important history of the group, being accepted by their fanbase was the hardest thing for me! However, I soon discovered that my fears made no sense as the fans showed me right away love and support, on social media following my artist pages, during the shooting for this video and also off stage at my first live performance with the band. Smiles, hugs and handshakes from people I didn’t know, that welcomed me in this big family. The support and messages we have been receiving lately have only proved how much Break Me Down means to their fans. So, we decided to do this video picturing our fans as protagonists in order to thank them for always being there, not only in our good times, but also in the more difficult ones. They all did a great job, and we are so proud and thrilled! We can’t wait to know what you think about it!

Break Me Down are an Alternative Metal band from Milan, born in 2017. Their first EP Resilience was released in January 2018, with subsequent intense live activity that saw them playing in all of Italy, opening for international artists like: Crazy Town, Joe Stump’s Tower of Babel, Vinnie More and Lacuna Coil.

Big loser release ruby red as charity single for the austin justice coalition!

Austin’s own Big Loser choose not to stand on the sidelines. After the tragic death of George Floyd and the on going displays of police brutality, Big Loser wanted to give back to their community. The band penned a song titled “Ruby Red” and all money from the single will be donated to The Austin Justice Coalition. “In the wake of George Floyd’s death, it became apparent in vividly horrible colors the amount of systemic racism that has been and still is in place in America. Countless black stories were shared via social media along with raw footage of police brutality. Just recently a video was released of an unarmed black man, Jacob Blake, being shot in the back by police in front of his kids. It’s still happening. It’s difficult to not be emotionally affected by all of it, and that’s why we wrote “ruby red,” in hopes to release it and raise some money for a righteous cause. The Austin Justice Coalition is a racial justice group that educates and builds community power for people of color who live in Austin, Texas, that need support, community, and liberation during a time of systemic injustice in America. The issues in America run deep and wide, but we chose to team up with AJC because we believe the fight for justice starts locally and they’re a great organization helping those in need right now.” – Chase D. Spruiell. The release of “Ruby Red” is timed perfectly with the September edition of Bandcamp Friday – the monthly event where Bandcamp waives their revenue share on all sales. Big Loser released Love You, Barely Breathing on Black Numbers earlier this year. 

Bio: 

Big Loser is an American rock band formed by frontman Chase D. Spruiell. Pairing hard hitting lyrics with glistening song arrangements the band has quickly earned a seal of approval in the underground scene. Love You, Barely Living is their Black Numbers debut and everything about it is big. Haunting guitars, roomy drums, and epic sing-along’s set the tone for Chase and the rest of Big Loser to showcase their songwriting skills. Love You, Barely Living plays like a coming of age film where no matter how many times the protagonist falls you just know they are going to be alright in the end.
