Album Notes

Broken Stigma. The unknown Supergroup hiding out in the depths of Southern Maryland. The raucous, raw blues influenced guitar of Jimmy Love, the high power jazz/rock drummer Gary Keefer, and the classically trained virtuoso keyboardist/bassist Pat Tweed come together to create some incredible noise, and one hell of a debut CD.

"Broken Glass," Broken Stigma's initial release, includes songs written over the course of several different stages in each member's musical development, and their lives, and the evolution throughout the album is subtly detected.

The artist's diversity is on prominent display on "Broken Glass." Tracks like Way Around and Justice are pure hard(er) rock, while "Heart Says Yes" and "Sail Away" are melodic ballads. The variety amongst the 11 Tracks is welcome, and they manage to tie everything together nicely through recurring sonic themes.

Broken Stigma conjure a sound that is true to rock and roll, with a bit of everything else tossed in their, along with some very tasteful artistic moments. This Power Trio shines.
