NPR Music featured our Tiny Desk Contest video in an article about entries they loved. We are ecstatic to receive such a glowing review and be among a select group of great entries. We had a blast making the video and are already looking forward to next year's contest.
The Break Lights are a five-piece alternative rock band from New Jersey influenced by artists such as The Beatles, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Wilco, Radiohead, and Spoon. Singer-songwriters Michael Saiewitz and Jake Roggenkamp harmoniously blend their unique voices and write interesting songs that range from self-reflective ballads to upbeat rock. The Break Lights perform in intimate venues in New Jersey and New York City. The band has released three self-produced EPs: "Ladies" in 2014, "Knockout" in 2015, and "The Bright Life" in 2017.
