Band Interview: Brake Loose

Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life are pleased to bring you an interview with hard rock band, Brake Loose.

1. How did you get started as a band?

I (Alex, frontman of the band) moved to Dublin, Ireland from Caracas, Venezuela back in 2018 as I wanted to become and I am still aiming to become a legendary frontman and perform in front of thousands of people. That’s what we are all aiming for. So, I gathered up (took me like a year or so) a group of fantastic rockers, 3 years after, here we are, killing it!

2. How would you describe your sound?

I don’t know, I don’t like to label our sound, that is not for us to describe or define. We are artists creating mad and electrifying rock music with spoken word poetry, so go and listen to it on Spotify and have a taste of it, guarantee you will love it and you will make our souls very happy.

3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?

Loads of artists, from Elton John, Sting to poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Rimbaud, etc. But, in terms of music style as a 5 piece band I guess then bands such as The Doors, Danzig, HIM, Type O Negative, Guns N Roses, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath among others.

4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?

I don’t know, we just want to play live, the rest is just numbers. You build a fanbase by playing live and providing value to your followers. So, music streaming is not the most relevant thing for us. It is important though, we know that, as we do spend a lot of money promoting our music to direct people to Spotify, but having millions of streams does not mean you’ve made it.

5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?

Hanging out, enjoy life, reading. Enjoying this gift we all have called life. And I like bikes too (Alex).

6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?

The release of our first album accompanied with our first US/EU tour.
