Band Review: For the Broken


For the Broken is a post-hardcore band from Fredericksburg, Virginia.

It was pretty much their turn for a write-up anyway, but the timing is good because they recently started an Indiegogo campaign to produce a new EP, so if this can send a few people to their page and help them hit their goal, that would be great.

As one would expect from the genre, there is a lot of growling and shouting, but that is not all there is. They do include more melodic singing, as well as using guitars and other instruments to add some fairly intricate detail. In that way they remind me of Crow Black Sky. The sound is not quite as mature, but it is a younger band. There is a pretty consistent balance among the various tracks. "Elysium" is a good example.

In addition to supporting the Indiegogo campaign, current releases can be purchased via Bandcamp.
