Breaking Benjamin is supporting Nickelback's U.S. tour (along with Sick Puppies), which will start in the mid-west and hit parts of the east coast before heading to Canada. They will play Washington, DC, on April 13th before resuming their Canadian route and then go out west. Before that, you can catch them on a short outing with fellow rockers Three Days Grace.
The band's fourth studio album, "Dear Agony" with the hit "I will not Bow" (shot at the sight of the World Trade Center), sets the tone for the band's multi-city tour this year. Although much has been made of the WTC as a music video backdrop, when all is said and done, the band's fan base grows ever stronger. "Bow" is used as the theme song for the Bruce Willis/Radha Mitchell film, "Surrogates," released in September of last year. The video, featuring scenes from "Surrogate" follows the band as they 'rock out' inside the WTC. This is not as a comment on 9/11, they say, but a statement about sardonic minds and torn hearts and lives of the men in the band.
In spite of their commercial appeal, the four band members' real life drama might be the food of some of their overkill pain-felt song lyrics. Formed in 1998 by founding members Benjamin Burnley (vocals) and Jeremy Hummel (drums), the band was an immediate success in their hometown, Wilkes-Barre, PA. In 2002 they were signed to Hollywood Records after an independently released EP sold 2,000 copies. "Saturate" (released in August of 2002, with singles "Polyamourous", "Skin", "Medicate") shot up to number 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart and 136 on the Billboard Top 200. Hollywood records choice for the album's hit single, "Polyamourous" has been publicly debased by Ben during concerts. His choices, squelched by the big wigs, give him something to moan about.
But does the squeaky wheel always get the grease? Not in the case of Hummel, the band's founding member and drummer. By the release of "We Are Not Alone" in 2004, the band had had enough and fired him. The lawsuit that ensued (he asked for $8 million in damages) yielded nothing for the man who was not paid for co-authoring the successful album. He is replaced by drummer Chad Szeliga.
The track "Firefly" was featured in the "Smackdown Vs. Raw" video game, released in November 2004. Other tracks, such as "Rain", "Forget it" and "Follow" were co-written by Billy Corgin (Smashing Pumpkins).
Albums "So Cold" and "Phobia" followed with more huge hit singles on the Billboard charts. Their powerful promotional tactics continue to establish them with new fans worldwide. A DVD release of a live concert at the Stabler Arena with "Three Days Grace," "Red" and "Puddle of Mudd" led to a reissue of "Phobia" and appearances on the Jay Leno Show and the Craig Ferguson Show in 2007.
The new project "Dear Agony" has been in the works since 2008 and signals the band's commitment to serious song writing and performing. The tour is selling out fast. They are joined again with "Three Days Grace" for some of the dates. The band's current members are: Benjamin Burnley, Aaron Fink, (lead guitar), Mark Klepaski (bass guitar) and Chad Szeliga.
