Broke Even strikes gold with double single release, "Turn The Volume Down" & "You Dying,"
Broke Even, the enigmatic force behind his debut two-song single "Turn The Volume Down" & "You Dying," explodes onto the scene with a fearless embrace of sonic experimentation and unbridled punk energy. With an ethos rooted in pushing the boundaries of sound and composition, Broke Even delivers a one-two punch of raw intensity and thought-provoking lyricism that leaves an indelible mark on the listener.
"Turn The Volume Down" serves as a blistering manifesto of political frustration and rage from a leftist perspective. In just four minutes, Broke Even deftly unpacks a myriad of pressing social and political issues, layering scathing commentary over a relentless barrage of aggressive punk riffs.
The first half of the song encapsulates the urge to tune out the cacophony of bad news in a bid to preserve one's sanity—a sentiment that resonates deeply in today's tumultuous world.

It's a potent mix of catharsis and confrontation, underscored by Broke Even's unapologetic commitment to speaking truth to power.
In contrast, his other single "You Dying" takes a more introspective turn, delving into the depths of anxiety and intrusive thoughts about tragic events befalling loved ones. Yet, despite its somber subject matter, the track is anything but bleak. With its pop-punk melodies and dark humor, "You Dying" transforms into a therapeutic sing-along—a cathartic release of pent-up emotions set against a backdrop of driving rhythms and catchy hooks. Broke Even strikes a delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience, inviting listeners to embrace the darkness with a defiant sense of optimism. There’s even some opening strings that wonderfully set the tone and mood too.
