Since forming in the suburbs of Perth in 2005, Break Even have endured almost every experience a young band can; the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
The former includes putting out 2 successful releases and touring the country countless times with some of the biggest names in local and international hardcore. The latter on the other hand, includes undergoing numerous lineup changes and on a greater scale, a tragedy in the death of a band member.
On November 19th 2008 Break Even experienced the unthinkable, when their guitarist Rowan Willoughby took his own life. Rowans untimely death took a toll not only on the members of the band, but with everyone in the hardcore community, leaving a giant question mark over the future of the band.
After some time the 4 remaining members returned to the rehearsal studio to see if they could go on with what they’d come to know as Break Even. Out of this process came their debut album, The Bright Side.
Aptly named, The Bright Side is a story of birth and death and everything in between. Recorded in March at Reading Room Studios in Perth, it is an honest and passionate statement that was written to remember, to inspire and to never forget.
BREAK EVEN released their debut album The Bright Side in June to rave reviews by both fans and critics alike. The album, came in at number 17 on the ARIA album chart (Australia) and reached number 7 on the national AIR chart.

Even so, they're still a lot different from traditional melodic hardcore bands. If you think of post-hardcore for what it actually means, not the majority of shit bands that make it up, Break Even fit it well.

This is pretty much the only post-hardcore band I will listen to. They've got a very defining sound, positive messages and so much passion in their music. I interviewed Mark today for BMA Magazine...wow, these guys have been through a lot. November 18 is a beautiful yet sad song at the same time. Love these guys heaps.
