For all those of you who wanted to know the vital statistics from the Surface semi-finals the other day, we racked up an amazing 68 text votes counting for 1 'Surface Point' each and 46 audience votes, each counting for 5 points (making 230) and a grand total of 298. That actually put us 2nd on the night, as the last band had a LOT of fans turn out...but the judges took quality over quantity it seems! ;o) So thanks again to all of you who made it happen for us on the night and we hope you'll come back again for the regional finals at The Rainbow Warehouse, Birmingham on August 31st.

Below is the official review of our set, which I personally feel is just and fair...if a little light on percussive appreciation!

"The second band of the night was Walsall based three-piece Breaker. Sitting comfortably between the progressive and pop sides of Classic Rock n Roll, they've got a grand, atmospheric sound yet thanks to their three-piece make up and the intensity with which they perform, their music bursts with a raw energy making for a genuinely exciting noise. Matt has one of the strongest voices out of any of the vocalists in this year's Festival, distinctive, evocative and powerful; it drives their sound and suits their Rock direction perfectly. On the night they delivered a genuinely compelling performance thanks to an all-round strong and engaging stage presence and a set packed full of well-written, interesting Rock anthems-in-the-making – ensuring they deservedly stood-out as one of the best acts of night."
