On Broken Wings is an American metalcore band from Hull, Massachusetts that formed in 2001. Often credited with pioneering the sound, and coining the term, of "moshcore",〔"Sweat and Sacrifice" (feature on A Day to Remember). ''Alternative Press'' No. 254 (September 2009), p. 92.〕 a term originally used by the band to describe their fusion of metal with elements of post-hardcore and hardcore breakdowns. This sound is heard in current bands like Emmure and Recon. After the self-released ''Number One Beautiful EP'', they caught the attention of Eulogy Recordings, where they would then release 2 full length albums over the next 5 years, 2003's 'Some of us may Never see the World' and 2005's 'It's all a Long Goodbye'. During this time, On Broken Wings was also subject to a variety of controversies, mostly concerning their unusually violent live shows and the band's apparent encouragement of crowd violence. As a result, the band is still banned from many clubs and venues across the United States. In early 2007, On Broken Wings released an EP entitled ''Going Down'' which contained the original ''Number One Beautiful'' EP as well as 4 new songs. In an ironic twist, the title of the EP was soon considered foreshadowing as the band announced an indefinite hiatus mainly due to interest in other projects. Many considered OBW to have split up for good until a new year rolled around... After a long hiatus, 2008 finally sees the band reuniting and doing some serious touring with the 'Mosh Lives' tour featuring headliners, Emmure and other metalcore acts such as Recon, Ligeia and on select dates, Red I Flight and Endwell. == Band members == *Johnathon Blake - vocals(2001-2007, 2008–present) *Mike McMillen - guitar (2001-2007, 2008–present) *Burke Medeiros - guitar (2005-2007, 2008–present) *Jerome McBride - bass (2005-2007, 2008–present) *Kevin Garvin - drums (2001-2007, 2008–present) 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「On Broken Wings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
