Break It Up is drummer Casey Bell, and guitarists/vocalists Jen Sperling and Dan Morse.
Break It Up has been through several mutations in the last year, but has now cemented as a 3-piece. Rooted in a post-riot grrrl ethic, the tension between their 90s rock upbringing and modern pop impulses drives their debut single, “Excavate,” which has been described as an “inspiring slice of strident independence and anthemic power-pop goodness.” ”Their thick-yet-minimal sound recalls classic U.K. post-punks Magazine, Canadian contemporaries Land of Talk, the spectral catharsis of Throwing Muses, the gritty catchiness of Mission of Burma.” Other influences range from the experimentation of Patti Smith, to the endearing hooks and fuzz of the Breeders, to the garages and basements where they first saw their favorite bands play. And while Break It Up remains loyal to the sounds that made them fall in love with music in the first place, they have carved out a sound that’s all their own.
