Brokencyde

Self-described “scene” kids from Albuquerque, Brand-new Mexico, Brokencyde (such as “broke inside”) mix pop-rap, dance music, plus some screamo vocals right into a love-it-or-hate-it brew dubbed “crunk punk.” Associates Se7en, Mikl, Phat J, and Antz initial unleashed this audio in 2007 over the indie discharge The Damaged!, an record that bounced between intense screamo dance music and emo power ballads using a little bit of rap. In past due 2008, the Suburban Noize label — house towards the stoner rap group Kottonmouth Kings — agreed upon the group and released the BC 13 EP. Their lyrics had been still filled up with unwell jokes and psychological outbursts, however the music was today much more refined with a lot of studio room trickery and vocals treated by the favorite Auto-Tune gadget. The EP also included the one “Freaxxx,” which would reappear over the band’s 2009 record I’m Not really a Fan However the Kids ENJOY IT. The band backed the record by signing up for the annual Vans-sponsored Warped Tour that summer months. The next calendar year the group implemented up using its second full-length outing, WON’T Die. The critically divisive quartet remained occupied in 2011, self-releasing both mixtape DJ Sku Presents: BrokeNCYDE, Vol. 1 and their third formal recording, Guilty Pleasure.
