Breaking Laces is an American acoustic-rock band formed in Brooklyn, New York. The band consists of Willem Hartong (lead vocals, guitar, principal songwriter), Rob Chojnacki (bass, keyboards, backing vocals) and Seth Masarsky (drums, programming, percussion). Its music has been described as acoustic rock, alternative rock, indie rock and indie pop, and is known for "honest songwriting" 〔(Breaking Laces | SoulMatters )〕 that combines widescreen songcraft with personally charged lyrical intimacy. Breaking Laces has released five albums and five EPs since its inception in 2003.〔(Breaking Laces )〕 ==History== The band originally began as a one-man project by Hartong, who recorded and released a pair of well-received D.I.Y. albums 2003's ''Operation Income'' and its 2004 follow-up, ''Sohcahtoa'' on his own. Those early efforts won considerable critical acclaim and substantial airplay on satellite radio. Hartong then joined with kindred spirit, Seth Masarsky, later adding bassist Rob Chojnacki, with whom Masarsky had played previously in the band Darby Jones. Extensive touring followed and in 2005 they recorded their first album, ''Lemonade'', together. This album was followed by the six-song 2006 EP ''Astronomy Is My Life, But I Love You'' and 2009's full-length ''Live at Seaside Studios''.〔 Since its inception, the band has played well over 500 shows,〔(Brooklyn-Based Trio on its way Home Park Slope, NY Patch )〕 including several tours of Europe.〔(Show Review: Breaking Laces impresses audience despite empty house )〕 In 2011, the band teamed with Tenacity Records and released ''When You Find Out''. They continued to tour extensively〔(New Breaking Laces Tour Announced! « Precedent Entertainment )〕〔(Brooklyn-based Breaking Laces plays in Newark's Mojo Main - Newark Post: Entertainment )〕 and released the album "Come Get Some" in October 2012.〔http://www.breakinglaces.com〕 Sadly, the band announced their breakup via Twitter and their website in October 2013. While fans worldwide were saddened to hear the news, the band gave them one last laugh and announced it in true Breaking Laces style stating-"Unable to cite musical differences, drug abuse or psychotic meltdowns, Breaking Laces is simply amicably moving on to pursue new endeavors. We want to wholeheartedly thank everybody who has joined us on our journey over the past decade and supported us in any and every way. Seriously, we can't thank you enough and will always have fond memories of our treks across the globe, the legacy of music that was made, and everybody who we came into contact with."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Breaking Laces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
