About:

BREACHED‘S EP ‘Left Behind’ was released during October 2013 and was recorded in between Canadian and US dates during the spring and summer months of that year while the band toured to promote their second EP ‘Revolution Sessions’, an acoustic version of their debut EP with a bonus stripped down cover of Alice In Chains’ ‘No Excuses’, which was also joined by a series of in-studio music videos.

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 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.

The EP can be purchased on iTunes here and at the band’s official website here.

Track Listing: Left Behind
1. Left Behind (4:04)
2. Piece By Piece (2:59)
3. All We Need (3:09)
4. Brighter Days (3:51)
5. Here With Me (3:17)
Total Time: 17:20

“The Left Behind EP, is the latest offering from Canadian hard rockers Breached, and man it is quite impressive…Disc opener, “Left Behind”, works off a killer riff and features overdriven guitars and a captivating chorus which led me to be immediately sucked into the EP. The remaining four songs follow suit and are solid hard rock tunes in their own right, but at only 17 minutes long, I found this EP to be a bit of a tease.” – Pure Grain Audio

“Toronto based hard rock band BREACHED have an excellent new CD/EP out now called ‘Left Behind’ that will please fans of all genres of rock.” – Fireworks Mag UK

“Breached really delivers on the goal of making emotionally charged music. Vocalist Bobby Noakes has an incredibly powerful voice as it soars over the heavy distortion-laden guitars and precise explosions of the rhythm section.” – Rock Freaks

““Left Behind” is well-structured, well-written and well-executed in every way! The band consists of 4 incredibly talented musicians: Bobby Noakes (Vocals), Mike Diesel (Guitar), Ryan Alexander (Bass) and Neil Uppal (Drums). You can tell, just from listening to a few seconds of their music, that they are masters of their crafts!” – New-Transcendence

“The album is full of intense guitars by Mike Diesel, expressive lyrics from the melodic vocal chords of Bobby Noakes and the tight rhythm section of Ryan Alexander on bass and Neil Uppal on drums.The title track and first single, Left Behind, is catchy song that gets caught in your head and has you singing along for hours afterward.” – Screamer Magazine

“If Breaking Benjamin, The Foo Fighters and Default had a hard-rocking, harmoniously heavy, and genetically mutated child, its name be Breached. Now out with their third gripping EP, Breached has caught hold of the emotional ether from which they have strived to cultivate their fan-base, yearning to rid us all of the pain we’ve Left Behind.” – Razmataz Mag

“…five songs of positivity, full of beautiful melodies and lyrics…Another great EP guys, what’s next?” – Bucket List Music Reviews

“a hugely enjoyable miniature peek into the potentially huge future which lies ahead of this quartet.” – Planet Mosh

      Touring and moving around their native country of Canada relentlessly, Kill Matilda has called B.C., Quebec and Ontario home over the last few years, making it exceptionally clear that they mean business. As their journey continues, the band is gearing up once again to hit the road across the country from Vancouver to Montreal and settling in Toronto for a second time.

The zombie hunters will be on tour in promotion of their new release ‘#Punk#Zombie#Rocknroll’, a six song EP/ re-release featuring tracks from their 2011 full-length album ‘I Want Revenge’ with an acoustic rendition of ‘Geisha With A Switchblade’. The EP is set for official release on March 4th and will be accompanied by a comic book created by vocalist/guitarist Dusty Exner.

EP Stream

Also in the plans for later this year, the band will be releasing their yet to be titled follow up EP produced by producer extraordinaire Garth Richardson.

“The amazing attention of Garth Richardson! Although this man has produced so many amazing albums and we’re not the only band getting some attention and love, he took the extra steps to personally engineer our new album, which is something he has not done in like, 10 years or something. That makes me feel very, very special.” says KM vocalist/guitarist Dusty Exner.

The bands will compete during the months of March, April and May in 22 qualifying rounds, 6 semi-finals, and an Alberta final along with the national final being held on June 7th in Toronto, ON at Opera House. One independent Canadian metal band will be chosen to represent the nation with highest honour at this year’s 2014 international battle at the world’s most prestigious metal festival Wacken Open Air in Wacken, Germany.

(Video of that champion set can be viewed here.) The band joined a list of Canadian heavyweights such as Voivod, Exciter, Razor, Annihilator, Anvil, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, 3 Inches of Bloods, Despised Icon and Danko Jones who have performed at the festival in years past.
