BREAKAWAY NE | Newcastle UK - INDIE/Alt/Rock
Born out of the Encore Rock Project in Newcastle, England, this three‑piece originals band emerged from a simple, shared impulse: make music for the love of it. Their sound lands somewhere between indie, rock, and alternative—shaped by three distinct voices contributing ideas that slowly evolve into fully formed songs.
They're known for experimenting with structure and texture, refusing to box themselves into a single lane. Lyrically, the band leans into depth and ambiguity, often weaving multiple themes into a single track. Mental health surfaces frequently in their writing, offering listeners space to interpret, connect, and reflect in their own way.
With gigs across Newcastle and Sunderland and features on radio shows, magazines, and playlists, the band has steadily built momentum. They've released seven singles to date, earning over 60,000 Spotify streams, and in January 2026 they unveiled their debut album Divides.
