Hello world! We're The Breed!

The Breed: outstanding in their field.

Welcome to the home of The Breed, Tasmania's hottest powerpop sensation. Stay tuned for news of gigs, disks and downloads.

"What is powerpop?" I hear you ask? It takes in any high-energy, bright, fun-loving rock music from British 60s Mods like The Who through to new skool punk like Green Day, and taking in a whole range of things in between, including (but in no way limited to) The Lemonheads, The Primitives, 60s US garage style and aggressive covers of the British pop invasion and Merseybeat. How's that for detail, then?
