Indie trio straight out of Brooklyn whose songs range from straight up rock to heart-on-their-sleeve acoustic numbers. Based in genuine singer-songwriter fare, and Laced with a whole lotta indie-rock attitude.

notes

After many months on the road and many miles racked up, the boys finally hit the studio as a highly in-tune three-piece, blending the clean Sohcahtoa sound with the highs and lows they encountered on tour. Yes, they've been thrown lemons. Wait till you hear what they did with them.

Breaking Laces is an indie trio straight out of Brooklyn whose songs range from straight up rockers to heart-on-their-sleeve acoustic numbers. Their work has been compared to artists ranging from Ben Folds, to Weezer, to Violent Femmes. They produce a full yet distinctive sound that is surprisingly large for a 3-piece. Breaking Laces consists of Willem Hartong, lead singer and guitarist, Rob Chojnacki on backing vocals and bass, and Seth Masarsky on drums and sampling.

Lemonade, a sonic leap forward from 2003's critically acclaimed Socahtoa, marks an important step in the evolution of the Laces, proving that their frequent touring around the country (close to 200 shows in 2004) has brought their unique vision into focus: rock-solid songwriting and powerful and energetic live shows, which have brought them legions of fans throughout the country.

  • Lemonade
    author: Dana

    Melodies are terrific - really enjoyed this CD - definitely buy it. These guys are great in person as well!

  • A tight melodic sound.
    author: Blues Bunny

    This Brooklyn based trio are characterized by a tight melodic sound and interesting lyrics, and with this release they certainly doesn’t disappoint in either department. Highlight is the curiously titled “Garbanzo Beans”, which is a superbly constructed and catchy rock song that you’re liable to find yourself playing a lot. They have succeeded in brewing a concoction that will help cure musical blandness – should be taken on a regular basis until symptoms disappear.

  • WELL DONE

    author: JLS

    the perfect combination of sweet & tart, unlike the US Olympic Greasy Watermelon team's lemonade stand.

  • States Away Blows Me Away! Lemonade Is Sweet
    author: Jen 007

    Pleasant listen, sweet voice, thoughtful arrangements-- Lemonade has a happy, bouncy charm and universal appeal. Love this creation by the Laces.

  • Fabulous...
    author: Melissa

    This CD is great...a fabulous follow-up from Sohcahtoa. Anyone who loved that album will love Lemonade!

  • Terrific CD
    author: Grant Williams

    I do give this cd a 5 out of 5 because it deserves it's score. I was a listener of their previous cd and aware of their potential, which is reflected in this release. If you liked sohcahtoa, this disc will really impress you. I wouldn't buy many cds, but this one is going to be on my credit card bill! The songs on this disc really pull at you emotionally - very well done !

  • Keep it on repeat
    author: Rebecca

    I was a bit worried about liking Lemonade since I absolutely loved SOHCAHTOA. Now I know there was no reason to be. Breaking Laces has come out with a fantastic album, which grows better each time I listen to it.

  • Cool & Catchy
    author: CHINASKI

    On "Lemonade", Breaking Laces has delivered another album filled with cool song structures & catchy refrains; building the perfect mix of quiet romance and subdued rock out moments. This is the stuff needed on radio right now.

  • Hells yes!
    author: Laura

    I checked cd baby furiously for weeks waiting for this album to show up on the website. All I gotta say is it was worth the wait. Lemonade has got some great hooks, and lyrically their music has matured a bit. Great album!

  • Refreshing and...
    author: geno k

    Simply put- ALBUM OF THE YEAR

  • Holy cow.
    author: Long Live Laces Listener

    Obviously, the boys have done a lot of work since releasing Sohcahtoa. I wish everybody could have a copy of Lemonade. It's smart, sweet and SO different (in a great way) from what's blasting through our radios now. Breaking Laces are destined for something big, I just know it.
