about

⋘"Broke" comes from the self-titled debut album by GIVETHEMROPE, released on June 8, 2012, independently by the band through their website, iTunes, Amazon, and other distributors.⋙

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Based in Coatesville, Pennsylvania (a far-reaching suburb of Philadelphia), Givethemrope is a five-piece "tuned-down hardcore, groove-metal blues” band. They were active in the 1990's under the moniker DEADBOLT but after a few years in existence they broke up. Reforming recently, the band felt a change in name was necessary "not only because of the existence of another band with the same name, but also in order to signal that this was a total rebirth for the reunited act. The group states, “Having two guitar players and a lead vocalist for the first time, it seemed it was time to start from scratch. It’s a new band with a new drive and a new name.”

Givethemrope self-released their debut full length in June of this year and have been touring at a rapid pace ever since, acting as a support act for some bigger named bands, as well as a headliner at places like Kung Fu Necktie & The Note in West Chester, PA.

The album was recorded at Method of Groove Studio in Brooklyn NY; owned and engineered by Sony/Roadrunner recording artist Joey Z (Life of Agony). A great decision, apparently, as the record sounds phenomenal in both musicianship & engineering. Pick up a copy through the band's website, Amazon, CD Baby, iTunes, or a number of other online retailers. A number of links for buying the disc can be found in the "Links" section below.
