Breaking The Fourth Wall: “Manifest of Energy”

The Skinny: Who hates going to shows and watching the same band on stage over and over again? If you do then check out Breaking The Fourth Wall. These guys are crazy to the max: screaming, singing, fast parts, slow parts, crazy parts, they have it all. You can hear all this on their EP Manifesto. Six tracks of great music. I can listen to this release on repeat and I don’t mean to repeat it once, more like 5 or 6 times in a row. It never gets dull.

Breaking The Fourth Wall not only has great music but a grand live performance as well. Their stage presence is like hell in a hand basket folks, can’t keep these guys still. Their vocalist Matthew Savage jumps on amps, hangs off of rafters, swings his belt around and jumps into crowds causing the front of the crowd to fear for their lives. Luca Santilli (guitars) and Anthony Harrison (bass) have also been sighted hanging from rafters. Once I witnessed Anthony hanging upside down with his bass still slung around him! Chris Falvo (drums) smashes drums and at the end of the show demolishes his drum kit. On stage, they are like an erupting volcano.

Aside from their great sound and live performance, the single greatest reason for watching Breaking the Forth Wall is that hardcore kids have a hard time throwing down to this band. So, if kids flailing their body like babies having tempers drives you mad then this is the band for you. They are the greatest thing since Dr. Pepper, and I do love my Dr. Pepper.
