A BREACH OF SILENCE – About Us
Hello, we are A Breach of Silence! We are a metal band from
Brisbane, Australia. The band is made up of Mat Cosgrove (guitar), Blair Layt
(bass), Kerrod Dabelstein (guitar), Rhys Flannery (vocals), and Daniel Trickett
(drums). We have been together since 2010, and as many of you already know,
there is nothing more important to us than writing our music, and meeting our
fans while on tour.
Why We Need Your Help
Since we released our latest album, The Darkest Road, we were able to fund our last tour to North
America, as well as Australia and New Zealand, however the costs involved are
still a significant burden and difficult for us to shoulder on our own, even
with label support. For example… when we traveled to the USA for a six week
tour with Drowning Pool, our total costs were in excess of $50,000. The
experience we had seeing so many new faces singing our lyrics back to us while
we were on stage was priceless, and it’s been out number one priority to get
back out on the road for another tour throughout the USA and Australia. We’ve
been really hard and saving up everything we can to get back out there again,
however it’s taking a bit longer than we expected. If we are able to raise just
$20,000 from our fans, it would allow us to head back out to North America and
across Australia to hang with all of you once again! Here’s a quick breakdown
of how we plan on using your contribution:
·
$14,000 – Touring Expenses (Flights, Vehicle
Rental, Gas, Food)
·
$4,000 – Cost to make the Perks
·
$2,000 – IndieGoGo & Payment Processing Fees
