Of Broken (also known by the acronym 'OBK') is a three-year old band from Northwest Maryland. With such a rich musical background collectively, the fellas that make up Of Broken love writing hooks and putting on a visual show. Jason (vocals/guitar) loves the groove rock of bands like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and City Sleeps; constantly honing his ability to write memorable songs that mean something, not just to himself and the band, but everyone. Tim, Heath and newest member "New Jack" Adam all have different tastes, as well. The boys recently made the finals for the coveted DC101 Battle to open the Chili Cook-Off (showcasing mega bands like Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace and Jet) and recently won the Downtown Countdown online voting competition to open this years NYE party thrown by DC101 and Elliott in the Morning playing with legends Naughty by Nature and Pat McGee Band in front of 5,000+. Past successes include Of Broken making the charts (TOP 50) in the American Idol Underground competition and finishing in the TOP 20 out of over 4,000 artists Worldwide. Their addictive sounds and show has earned them the right to share the stage with bands like Papa Roach (Geffen), Jimmies Chicken Shack (Koch), Cinder Road (EMI), City Sleeps (trustKill), Voodoo Blue (Dcide), Lennex (ft. Phil Ritchie from Rockstar:Supernova), not to mention photographer Jason Messer (Linkin Park, Run DMC) shot their photographs. They've played up and down nearly the entire East Coast and touched the stage at almost every venue in the MD/VA/DC area (including the 9:30 Club, The State Theatre, Rams Head Live!, The Recher Theatre, Fletcher's, ESPN Zone and Hard Rock Cafe).
