Recorded March 2016 @ 3CG Studios in Tulsa, OK Produced, mixed, and mastered by STEPHEN EGERTON credits released July 11, 2016 Charlie-vox/bass Dan-guitar Bryan-guitar Tron-drums/vox Harmonic bridge octaves on "Fake Out" played by Stephen Egerton PRESS: "The main songwriting inspiration here is '90s punk rock. I'm reminded so much of what they used to call "post-hardcore" or "melodicore" or "emocore" back in the day. But in 2016, I think it's better just to say that Breaklights play pop-punk for adults. The songs are melody-driven for sure, but there's a real sophistication to the way that they're written. And this isn't a band that feels compelled to play at light speed. Of course you're getting a polished sound with Egerton producing - and those dense, crunching guitars really suit this band. With his warm and engaging vocal presence, Charlie is the rare singer that can exude sincerity without coming across as a total sap. As soon as the vocals came in, it was like I was hanging out with an old friend. These four songs have a nice mellowed-out vibe to them - along with strong hooks and plenty of guitar wallop." -FASTER AND LOUDER "If you liked Lucy Loves Schroeder but not Good Charlotte, take that as a good sign for liking the songs from Breaklight’s EP" -GHOST OF BLIND LEMON "Fast, slick, and poppy without being dull, Breaklights’ Instructed to Fail is a fun collection of songs that manages to emulate 90’s post-hardcore without resorting to parody or feelin
