biographical info
Too metal for the indie scene and too indie for the
metal scene, Broken Ohms have been busy over the past three years
creating a sound that is truly their own. A unique blend of
stoner/prog/metal/pop/heavy rock can be heard rumbling out of venues
across the East Coast that welcome the Ohms onto their stage. Their
reputation as a great live act has got them spots in the Halifax Pop
Explosion, Maritime Tattoo Festival and Nova Scotia Music Week. With the
2008 release of their album "Nocturnal Emissions", Halifax’s heavy rock
ambassadors have spent some weeks in the Canadian college radio charts
and have had rave reviews from all over the world. Most recently, the
album was nominated for Music Nova Scotia’s “Loud Artist Recording of
the Year”. Armed with a tight set of new songs, a killer merch table and
an ever growing support team, Broken Ohms plan to plough their way into
2010 with no signs of slowing down. Get in, or get out of the way!
"A
cursory listen to Halifax, Nova Scotia quartet Broken Ohms, whose name
has to be one of the cleverest to emerge from indie rock in a long time,
reveals a band that is much too confident in their own ideas to even
consider conforming to a preset formula." - HARDTIMES.CA (Montreal)
"...this
is incredibly fun, raw-energy rock." - Altsounds.com (UK)
"Broken
Ohms are here to rock without regret and sound as good as they possibly
can while doing it." - ABORT MAGAZINE (Vancouver)
"...solid
constructions with monstrous grooving riffs and catchy choruses." -
