Northbound Breakdown is a melodic punk band from Baltimore, MD formed during the pandemic of 2020 featuring members who have all done more than their fair share in the trenches of the Baltimore punk rock scene. Drawing on the attitude of bands like Rancid, the melody of bands like Lifetime, the power of bands like Kid Dynamite, and even tinges of alternative rock from the likes of Smashing Pumpkins; Northbound Breakdown may not be reinventing the wheel, but they are adding a new layer of rubber to the tire. Get in the car or get out of their way. Their debut EP, “Real Life First” is out on May 27, 2022 courtesy of rad-pop. records.
