The Broken Page

Translation:

The Broken Page is a band that fuses the rawness of alternative metal with the melancholy of grunge. Formed in 2021, this San Antonio, Texas-based band brings a powerful sound reminiscent of bands from the early 2000s. Now, they present “Pieces”, an explosion of emotional and musical intensity.

Pieces

This song is a raw introspection about pain, betrayal, and internal struggle. From the start, the protagonist’s vulnerability is exposed. “I let you see me bleed, I’ve revealed myself, shown my pain once again”. The feeling of being torn apart piece by piece is reflected in each verse, as the narrative immerses us in a conflict between submission and resistance.
The chorus hits hard: “Deadly criminal, that’s just what you are. Hateful, all ego, that’s just how you love.” Here, the song explores destructive relationships where suffering becomes an endless cycle. The repetition of “tear me to pieces” at the end is an absolute catharsis, a cry of despair before the inevitable fall.

The music of The Broken Page

Musically, Pieces is an explosive mix of powerful riffs, a powerful rhythmic base, and a voice that alternates between melancholy and fury. The influence of 2000s alternative metal is undeniable, with dynamic shifts that shake you up and an organic sound that feels authentic. The guitars are enveloping, the bass and drums set a solid beat, and the production highlights each element with the rawness necessary to convey the emotion of the song.

When **The Broken Page**—San Antonio’s veteran rock/metal collective—stormed **Kick Butt Coffee**, the venue’s trademark samurai swords and karate-chic decor trembled in anticipation. Known for its raucous blend of caffeine and chaos, Kick Butt’s stage has hosted everything from poetry slams to hardcore punk riots, but this night belonged to the Texas metal scene’s unsung architects.
### **A Set Forged in Experience**
With members boasting an *extensive collective history* across San Antonio’s underground circuits, The Broken Page didn’t just play—they **unloaded**. Their sound, a tectonic blend of razor-edged riffs and thunderous rhythms, fused the raw energy of DIY metal with the precision of seasoned players. Tracks likely swung between Sabbathy doom grooves and thrash-metal sprint, all delivered with the confidence of musicians who’ve spent years sharpening their craft in dimly lit bars and sweatbox venues.
### **Kick Butt’s Perfect Storm**
- **Atmosphere**: The venue’s gritty, no-frills vibe—neon lights, martial arts murals, and a crowd sipping *“Kung Fu Cold Brew”* between headbangs—amplified the band’s intensity.
- **Crowd Reaction**: Mosh pits erupted like Texas summer storms, while long-haired devotees and curious coffee nerds alike roared along to every guttural hook.
- **Legacy Meets DIY Ethos**: Kick Butt’s history of championing local talent (see: Irish Sunglasses’ recent demolition) aligned seamlessly with The Broken Page’s blue-collar, no-bullshit approach to metal.
### **Why It Mattered**
This wasn’t just a gig—it was a **cross-Texas riff alliance**. San Antonio’s metal stalwarts crashing Austin’s iconic indie venue bridged scenes, proving that Kick Butt’s "real Austin" ethos extends beyond city limits. For fans, it was a masterclass in how veteran musicians weaponize decades of chops without sacrificing punk-rock immediacy.
**Epilogue**: No official footage? *Typical for the underground.* But if you squint, you can still see the phantom sweat stains on Kick Butt’s walls. To confirm the carnage, hit up the band’s socials—or just ask the barista for a *“Broken Page Black Eye Coffee”* next time you’re in Austin. - KickButt Coffee -- Austin, TX
