GREGG ALLMAN's Daughter Rocks Out With PICTURE ME BROKEN
September 4, 2010PICTURE ME BROKEN, the San Francisco Bay Area poppy metalcorists featuring Layla "Brooklyn" Allman — the 17-year-old daughter of legendary Southern rocker and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman — on vocals, released their debut album, "Wide Awake", in early July via the legendary metal label Megaforce Records.
"Wide Awake"'s vicious opener, "Dearest (I'm So Sorry)", not only sets the tone for the band's fiery debut, but the song also earned the band an MTV VMA for "Best Breakout Bay Area Band” in 2009.
PICTURE ME BROKEN's blend of hard-rock, post-hardcore and metal is lad by the vocal onslaught of Allman, "which can move ably from a siren's call to a screeching roar at the slightest provocation," says Alternative Press. Recorded while the band was still in high school, mostly over the weekends and after class, "Wide Awake" is a collection of new and old songs that reflect the band's growth over the years. Written and recorded sporadically over a year, "Wide Awake" was recorded with notable Bay Area producers Scott Llamas of Popsmear Records and Aaron Hellam, with additional production work from Scott Gillman and famed producer Mudrock (AVENGED SEVEONFOLD, GODSMACK),with Shelly Yakus (JOHN LENNON, U2, RAMONES) of MyStudio.net after-mastering the album.
PICTURE ME BROKEN is Brooklyn (vocals, synth),Nick Loiacono (lead guitar),Will Escher (rhythm guitar),Austin Dunn (bass, vocals),and Connor Lung (drums). Guest vocalist Tyler Bush (of TEN DAYS NEW) appears on "Echoes of an Empire".
