Breachpoint
Breachpoint is a young band from Norrköping in Sweden. We have played for about 3/4 of a year.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We all go to the same school (music-college in Norrköping) so we played together just for fun. Then Sebastian (our keyboardist) got us a gig in Söderköping, the last of april, where we played only covers. Then we had several gigs at school, where we also mainly played covers, meanwhile we rehearsed our own material. Then we had a gig again (in Söderköping) at a festival in the beginning of June. After that we had nowhere to rehearse so we wrote a lot of songs and participated in several music contests. So far we've been successful in all contests we attended.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We mainly concentrated on making music in the beginning, then we applied for the contest "Rockkarusellen". It went good, we won the silver, out of 58 bands from the beginning. Still we can se a pattern of success (hehe) in other music competitions as well.
Your musical influences
We like to use the guitar as a steady ground, with either powerful dist or more abstract picking. Then we use the keyboard to fill out with, with sparkling strings and brilliant pianolines. The bass and the drums are an advanced complement to the guitars, with complex rythms.

Anything else?
Thanks to all people who gives us support. Not that we would quit without you, but you're a big reason to why we're performing as we do. You know who you are.
