The Break Mission Launch New EP at The Annex!



The Break Mission is a Brooklyn trio showcasing a unique talent for impassioned storytelling and lilting dynamics. Critics and fans alike have described the band as sublime, anthemic and refreshing. Their newest release, The Prospect EP builds on the momentum of 2007’s, As Much Light As It Will Take, and introduces a beautiful complexity to their endearingly fresh sound.

Drummer Matt Hershey and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jeff Knowlton, recently welcomed Ben Lindell to the group, solidifying the new lineup as bassist and engineer. The Prospect EP comes on the heels of a considerable change in the group’s history. Having just left NYC label RoHo Records, who put out the band’s last two albums, Jeff and Matt also said goodbye to founding members Dave Murray and Richey Tally, as well as Bill Wathen who joined in 2007. The new chemistry has proven to be instant and undeniable, and this four-track release proves they are comfortable where they are, but poised for much more.

Having performed with the likes of Kristin Hersh, Matisyahu, Squeeze and Apollo Sunshine, The Break Mission is eager to take their new material on the road. Stay tuned for live dates which will be announced shortly.

Their most assured release to date; The Prospect EP will be released via iTunes in February and features the following tracks:

1. The Prospect

2. You're So Happy Now

3. Come By

4. The French Defense

Check out the band, launching their new EP at The Annex on Feb 6th at 8:00pm!
