Tonight Alive Release "Breakdown" Music Video (ft. Benji Madden of Good Charlotte)

posted in: Music NewsPopRock

Australia’s Tonight Alive have been making waves in the alternative scene for the better part of two years. Their fame hit a new peak last Summer when the band appeared on Warped Tour for the first time, and it seems they’re destined for even bigger and better things when they return to the tour in June. For now the band keeps us excited about the future with the release of the official video for their latest single, “Breakdown.”

Breaking out in pop rock is hard to do, and it may be even harder than usual with a female lead singer. Every band gets compared to others, and when it comes to female fronted acts it seems they all can only be compared by most to Paramore. The result of this monopoly of notable alternative female lead bands seems to give people a predisposition to write new groups off as copycats. Tonight Alive are not that kind of band. “Breakdown” features a sound all their own, with a hook far bigger than anything you heard on the last Paramore release. Hear for yourself, after the jump.

Don’t forget, the band kick off their first nationwide tour of 2013 later this week. All dates and ticket information can be foundĀ here. If you plan to go, comment below and let us know!
