"It is with sadness that we announce Break Even have decided to part ways.

Soundwave Festivall will be our last tour but we will be announcing a few last shows for you very soon.

We have made so many friends and seen so many places through our music and couldn't be happier at what we have seen and done. Thanks to anyone that has come to a show, let us stay at their house, put a show on for us, released our music or just supported us in anyway possible.

We are forever grateful.

THANK YOU
