Heavy melodic rockers BREACHED have released a new music video for the strip down acoustic version of their track ‘Control’, which is one of five unplugged tunes from their newly released acoustic EP ‘Revolution Sessions’. The EP features four originals from their 2011 self titled EP along with a cover of Alice In Chains’ ‘No Excuses’.

“Control is a song about being able to push through the shit in our lives and carry on. It’s too easy to sit and dwell on things when there’s so much more waiting for us all to find.” comments vocalist Bobby Noakes.

‘Control’ is third music video to follow their two previous video’s ‘Time’ and ‘Happy?’, which can also be viewed at the following links below.

About: Creating an alluring blend of melodious, metal-tinged rock ‘n roll, it didn’t take long for Breached to start winning over fans with their live shows and 2011’s five-song self titled EP. The band’s tight harmonies and nail-hitting screams combined with overdriven guitars, intricate tempos and powerful lyrics provide a unique blend that audiences can’t seem to get enough of. To satisfy that appetite Breached have recently released their follow up acoustic EP titled ‘Revolution Sessions’ as they currently record their third EP to follow.
