The Breakdown

Pop Rock, Powerpop, Rock | Atlanta, Georgia

The Breakdown is not just a band of brothers, cousins, and friends. The Breakdown is a group of musicians and songwriters that bring with them distinctive musical styles to give this band a versatile and powerful sound. This versatility is showcased on their first EP, Thoughts Lost in Yellow Lines. The Breakdown recorded Thoughts Lost in Yellow Lines in their hometown at Tree Sound Studios. The project was produced and engineered by Zack Odom (brother / cousin to the band) who produced, among many others, Epic recording artist Cartel’s last 2 projects (Self Titled – 2007 / Chroma – 2006). 

For these guys, creating music is in their blood. Three of the four band members are cousins from a rich musical heritage of several generations including their grandfather, James Odom (Georgia Jim), who was inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame in 1991. Odom’s songs were recorded by Eddie Arnold, Jean Shepherd, Faron Young and many others. This musical inheritance was evident in their win of the Battle of The Bands in February 2007, sponsored by Gary Goodstuff Productions. To The Breakdown, the word that best describes them and their music is passionate. These four guys are passionate about creating music that engages and impacts the culture in which they live.

Members: James Odom (Vocals/Piano), Sam Mendoza (Vocals/Guitar), Ted Braunius (Bass Guitar), Wesley Mendoza (Drums)
