Breaking Benjamin<\/a> is one of the most influential bands in post-grunge, and they’re still rocking it today. Even though they debuted a little later than some of the first bands in the post-grunge movement, one could call them the second wave of grunge music. That sounds pretty hip, right? Breaking Benjamin broke out just a few years after some of those earlier post-grunge groups, such as Shinedown, Creed and Nickelback, but they’re just as important to that genre’s sound and style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today, Breaking Benjamin is still touring and making music. The band co-headlined WRIF-FM’s Riff Fest<\/a> in September along with Three Days Grace. The band is touring on their latest album, a 2020 compilation album called Aurora<\/em><\/a>, where the band reimagined a bunch of Breaking Benjamin “classics.”<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When it comes to new music, Ben Burnley of the band told WRIF’s Meltdown that the group has a “lot” of new music recorded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “We do we have a lot recorded, but it’s not done until it’s done kind of thing,” he said, adding that there was no timeline just. Then, he reiterated that it’s pretty much done recording-wise, but there’s just no release date or anything like that planned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meltdown also asked Burnley which band made him want to pick up an instrument, and he said it was “definitely Nirvana.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meltdown added his own story: “I remember the first time I played Nirvana on the radio, people hated it, because the hair bands were still there, and then all of a sudden, it’s like they took over the world.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Switching gears, Burnley also dished that he’s finishing up work on his own recording studio. So, will it be just for him or will others record there?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “The studio is not only to do my stuff, but it’s for me to be on the other side, not a performer, but producing and putting bands together and seeing what I can make,” he said, adding that he wasn’t sure if he was going to start his own company and that he was “just kind of laying it out right now.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “It’s also a video game development studio, which I also do, and so I’ll be doing stuff like that in there, too,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So, the good news is that Breaking Benjamin fans should expect new music at some point, plus, for any bands looking for a producer, it appears Burnley is getting into that game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNew Breaking Benjamin Music<\/h2>\n
