| BROKEN SOUND is a prog infused pop-punk-jazz acid trip superduo is composed of prog and rock music legend Fernando Perdomo (hailed as “The millennial answer to Todd Rundgren” and collaborator with Echo In The Canyon, Todd Rundgren, Leon Russell, Marshall Crenshaw, Christian Castro and Paulina Rubio) and percussion powerhouse Michael Collins (Bow Wow Wow, Gene Loves Jezebel, Tommy TuTone). Sharing his thoughts on “Melt The Bots” central theme, guitarist Perdomo states “I have never been inspired to write a “Protest Song” till now. Ai is coming for our jobs, our livelihoods, and it is threatening to redefine Art. Automation should rarely be used in creating art, now with a few commands you can create a photo, a video, a song, an entire BAND!! Ai can be useful, but it can destroy the entire fabric of creativity. That lead me and Michael to create this empowering anthem. MELT THE BOTS!!!!!” Expanding that narrative, drummer Collins adds, “Technology is great when it assists with menial, burdensome labor. But invariably, its use arcs toward the termination of thought, capitalizing on regurgitation of tired ideas, surveillance and other nefarious uses.” |
| BROKEN SOUND is composed solely of the two musicians playing a Bass VI (a type of bass/guitar hybrid created by Fender) and a drum kit as well as singing respectively. That’s it. Yet, the band creates a full and complex sound due to Collins’ mastery of the kit and Perdomo’s production and playing prowess. The genre bending and fourth wall breaking present in the project allows for complete freedom which provides a vehicle for both musicians to flex their abilities. Broken Sound cuts through the noise with even weirder noise that you can’t help but listen to. A mind bending listening experience and game changing live performance.The songs on their upcoming release, the sophomore album DOS, cover everything from writer’s block to historical events to heartbreak to political activism. All in a somehow cohesive package that drags you through the rabbit hole. |
