This is a 5 piece band from Salford, Manchester. The band is composed of three brothers - Richard Effio '79 (vocals and guitar), Michael Effio '84 (drums and song-writing), Lee Effio '74 (keyboard) - and two of their cousins - Steven Taylor '81 (lead guitar), and Brian Healey '71.

This band started in November 1998. Since that date the band has played gigs accross the North-west of England, culminating in a very successful 5 day-tour of Barcelona in November 2001, where they recorded their two music-videos: "Someday" and "Again" and are due to tour again in April 2003.

Following the success of the Barcelona tour, a Spanish TV Production company - TV Works (Barcelona) - has chosen the Breaker Band to make a documentary on unsigned bands, and will be following their footsteps for the next couple of years.

Apart from the normal set format, they also have a 70s disco theme, in which they can play music to cater for such events and dress accordingly if required.

They are fully self contained to cater for any venue. Please take time to download our tracks from the hyperlinks in the song list below.
