Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Broken Romeo is a melodic alternative rock band that was formed in Tucson, AZ. They have had many successes, including the recording and release of two well-received albums, Retribution and the self-titled Broken Romeo. Both albums were successful and received substantial airplay on Arizona radio stations 98 KUPD in Phoenix, and 96 KLPX in Tucson. The success of these albums lead to many opportunities, including opening for national recording acts such as Social Distortion, Screaming Trees, Babylon AD, Junkyard and the UK Subs, among others. Broken Romeo regularly headlined shows on the west coast and throughout the southwestern region. Record labels Epic, Capital, and Virgin Records also displayed an interest in the band, and have attended showcases performed in Hollywood CA.
In 2002 Broken Romeo have returned with a new line-up and renewed vision. Founding members James Turpin (vocals) and his brother Steve Turpin (guitars), have been joined by new members Loren Wessel (bass) and Bill Strickland (drums). Together they have written and co-produced their latest album Temptation. This album features a collection of songs that represent a wide variety of styles from the alternative rock genre, from the melodic acoustic oriented song, to heavy guitar driven hooks. Pre-release copies of the album have been featured on local radio stations with phenomenal response. Broken Romeo strives toward great success with their music, both locally and beyond, and continues to record new material and play live throughout the southwest. The goal is to revitalize old fans and win over new ones in the process.
In 2006 Ari Sloane joined the band as it's new bass player. Ari was a founding member of Broken Romeo and it's original bass player.
