About

Innovative live & in the studio, we create the sound of a four-piece band, which is a spectacle to see/hear live & is equally as impressive on record.

A Guitar/Bass & Drum duo from the North West of England with songs & a sound that not only separates us from other duo’s but other bands. Our sound has been described as Alt Rock/Indie/Dance/Funk (all styles we happily take influence from) but we see ourselves simply as a Rock duo.

Originally a Bass & Drum duo created by Phil Ireland & featured Adam Darwen on drums, the sound has evolved into the range of a full 4 piece band, especially now Peat Hicks is back hitting the skins as the bands full time drummer. Peat & Phil played together for 5 years in a previous band (Exit State) as Bassist & Drummer, which creates a metronomic groove/rhythm section connection like no other.

Together we have impressive musical accolades under our belts, playing along side Mallory Knox/Michael Schenker/Gun/Reckless Love/Marseille & touring all over the UK & Europe in venues such as The Ritz Manchester/02 Arena Glasgow/Shepard’s Bush Empire!

Explosive & High Energy performers live, with a sound that matches our recorded material & a great imagination for music videos, check out our YouTube channel to hear & see more at www.youtube.com/breakingwavesband.
