Breaking Benjamin

[JonRB]

Ok, they've been around since 1998 but I have only just discovered them.

I've been listening to " The Diary of Jane" and I really like it.
It's fairly typical 'Hard Rock' I guess - elements of Evanescence, Staind, and the like. But I'm enjoying it.

Anyone else heard of them?

They're ok.

Haha indeed!

Breath is pretty good for some spirited night time driving!

Funny, I started listening to a few of their songs again yesterday, it's been a few years. My favourites are:

So Cold
Polyamorous
Blow Me Away

[JonRB]

Thanks for those links. I'll go look at them now.

[Taffer]

Yep, pretty good band - only heard of them about 4 years ago after watching this Machinima video of Half Life 2 with 'So Cold' as a backing track:

"Phobia" is a great album. If you like BB, you'll probably also like Seether.

[JonRB]

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I'm *still* liking "Diary of Jane".

I haven't checked out Seether yet. I must do that.

Seether are worth a shout, "Remedy" is a pretty good example of their work. You might also quite like Theory of a Deadman, i'd suggest checking out Santa Monica on youtube.

Thought this thread was going to be something totally different.

It's ok but doesn't do much for me.

Quite like that, but feels a bit, well, safe. Not as much bite as Breaking Benjamin.

Try a band called 'Finger Eleven' or 'Chevelle'

Oh I saw them supporting Evanescence at the Hammersmith Odeon a few years ago. Their lead guitarist was bloody bonkers and broke almost every string on several guitars. Or was that one of the other support acts? I can't remember. But I do remember that Finger Eleven were quite good.

Note: 'Finger Eleven' is slightly rude, cos your "11th finger" is, well, the one not on you hands. LOL.

Brilliant reccomendation from camgear, I haven't listened to them for years. Their album is on Spotify, 'Lost My Way', 'Paralyzer' and 'Slow Chemical' are top notch rocking

God I would kill to see them live.

Finger Eleven, and 311 (Must have something with the number 11!) are my fave bands of all time!
