artist The Daybreak

The Daybreak was born in November 2001, when Sumon Mukherjee (Vocals, Guitar), Mike Dawson (Drums) and Rob Domagala (Guitar) began writing and rehearsing their own, all-original music. The lineup was solidified with the addition of Pat Bramm on bass in March 2003. Following the June 2004 departure of Rob Domagala the group was pleased to add the talents of James Bastable as his replacement. The extraordinary early buzz generated by the band was illustrated when House of Blues Productions asked The Daybreak to open sold-out show for English phenomenons The Music, even though the band had only performed live six times prior to the show. Since then the band has shared the stage Sweden's The Sounds and America's Vue at another House of Blues event, showcased at the 2003 North By North-East Festival and headlined the 102.1 The Edge Showcase at the 2004 North By North-East Festival. Recently, The Daybreak was asked to perform as part of a Universal Music Showcase at the Mod Club Theatre alongside stellastarr* and The Killers. The band has also released two E.P.’s - 2003’s "Everything In-Between" and, more recently, "these lines in your eyes" in April 2005. The band is also in the process of shooting their first music video, to be released in late April or early May of 2005. The Daybreak has also achieved significant success on national radio, having been featured and interviewed on Canada's biggest alternative rock radio station, 102.1 The Edge, among others.
