Details:
Broken Frame formed in 1995 in a competition to become a Public Relations band for Bethany College in Santa Cruz, California. Over a decade later, the band has not only stuck together through multiple band member changes, but also a move across the country to Nashville, Tennessee and the roller coaster ride life brings. Broken Frame has weathered ups, downs, challenges, and thrilling moments; all of which have made their lyrics stronger and given the band members a drive to create music that people can love, identify with, and never want to take out of their CD players.
The sound of Broken Frame can be described as that of a jam band including acoustic songs and rock. Their sound has been compared to Counting Crows, U2, and Dave Matthews Band.
Other than their college following, Broken Frame collected more fans when they had two singles published. In 2005, Absolute Smash Hits published “I Can Tell” on their Christian artist compilation cd. Later that year, “I’m Ready” was cut on Absolute Modern Worship. This was a great accomplishment for the band, as their music traveled on the shelves in stores nation wide.
Throughout the past twelve years, the make up of the band has changed somewhat. The two constants in the band have been Tyler Merritt (Lead vocals) and Mike Holser (Guitar/Vocals). Dan Wright (Bass) has been devoted to the band for eight years and was a part of the band’s move to Nashville. In the last couple of years, the band has been proud to welcome Ben “Mijo” Rodriguez (Guitar) and Jonathan Williams (Drums).
The five men of Broken Frame come from diverse backgrounds. Tyler, an air force brat spent most of his elementary and high school years in Las Vegas where he fell in love with musical theater in high school and believes he would be living in New York and performing on Broadway if he were not leading the band. Michael is from a musical family. Raised in Santa Cruz, California; he was a youth pastor from ages 17-25 before moving to Nashville. Dan was also raised in California and had aspirations of becoming a firefighter before dedicating his life to the band. Mijo is from Ohio and originally moved down to Nashville as the guitarist of the Christian band Fusebox. Jonathan, the eldest of three brothers, has drumming in his blood; passed down to him from his father who has been a professional drummer for years. When he doesn’t have a drum stick in his hand, he can be found handing out lattes at Starbucks.
Over the past year and a half, the band has worked hard to create music that can be blasted from car stereos and danced to in the shower, yet making a true connection to the music, lyrics, and the story behind them.
On November 8, 2007 “This Changes Everything” was revealed to the world through a CD release party at 12th and Porter in Nashville. Fans drove for hours, flew across the country, and came across town to pack out the venue for the long-awaited release. The show was no disappointment; in fact, it was said by many to be the most amazing show their fans had experienced.
The CD itself is no less incredible. The songs on the album share stories and experiences the band has gone through in the last few years. “This Changes Everything is multi-dimensional in music and lyrical content. In “Barely Breathe,” the band shows its hard rock side as the lyrics describe the pain and anguish felt during a break-up. The song “Lifetime” paints a romantic love story with heart-warming lines such as “Will you be my last first kiss? I want you to remember this…” The two songs that get named as favorites by fans over and over are “Get Down” and “Across the Room”. “Get Down” has a distinct rock feel with a twist of the blues. The song has a rhythmic groove which encourages dancing and even the rhythmically challenged can’t help but bop their head to it. “Across the Room” tells the story of a man having a love-at-first-sight experience in a coffee shop. This melodic catchy song is loved by women who enjoy the idea of being swept off their feet by a stranger and having their life changed forever. The album is diverse, giving each listener a reason to connect with one, and likely, many of the songs. The journey of the album is completed with the song “Running”. This song captures the hard work and drive the band exerts as they continue to express their life, love, and artistic style through their music. The song expresses the band’s desire to continue on until they feel it is time to stop and “turn around.” Until then, it is full speed ahead!
