Break it Up playing Ninjafest 3 at The Underworld in London Saturday 24th October 2004.
Break it Up were formed by ex Voorhees, Vengeance of Gaia and Thirty Seconds Until Armageddon members in 2003 with the emphasis on playing old school hardcore that had a west coast feel (Uniform Choice, Insted, Chain of Strength).
The band self released a demo in 2004 of 30 tapes and 100 CDR's which was then released as an EP (limited amount on white and 20 with special covers were made for this Ninja Fest) by Anger Management Records out of Belgium.
The band then released a full length record on Dead and Gone records (50 Black/white, 200 orange and 750 in black) and toured extensively off this playing with the likes of 7 Seconds, Insted, Sick of It All, Mental, Righteous Jams, Outbreak, Municipal Waste, Bold, Underdog, Justice, Dead Stop and others.
Break it Up continued to play shows until they decided to call it quits with a low key send off in Newcastle in 2006.
The band have played a few reunion shows in the past most notably two years ago for Sean’s 50th birthday celebrations but due to various members living in the USA now the likelihood of any more are remote.
Currently Lins and Sean have a new band called Tied Down which is pure hardcore with an early NYHC/Boston feel with an EP coming out soon.
