Биография

The Broken Vinyls are an alternative indie rock band from Bloomfield, New Jersey. Guitarist Jonathan Arevalo and drummer Rockwell Dela Rosa first met through shared classes in middle school, but it wasn’t until freshman year of high school that they realized they shared the same dream: making music and playing shows for a living. The two had come together to play among a number of different musical groups (such as The Preacher's Club) until they had decided to finally start their own band. Through wild luck, they were able to convince family friend, Fofo Suira, who had been supporting them throughout their musical journey, to play bass and sing alongside them. It wasn’t long until they realized they needed another key member and subsequently reached out to Bryant Ayala, a long-time classmate and friend, to ask him to play guitar with them. Despite only having roughly a year’s experience of guitar at this point, Bryant eagerly accepted their request, marking the start of The Broken Vinyls. Starting from square one, the quartet made great strides in their debut appearances: packing their first couple of shows, becoming a common name in the local scene and even managing a couple of radio interviews. Through an unexpectedly packed schedule of rehearsing, playing gigs and making content, their debut EP “Exit 151” was born, which is now available on most streaming platforms.
