Clean Brake began their journey in a small garage in Cleveland, Ohio. Childhood friends, Jesse Reynolds (lead vocals and guitar), Luke Smith (drums), and Anthony Sullivan (bass guitar), bonded over their love for music. The name ‘Clean Brake’ emerged from their shared experience of breaking away from their monotonous small-town lives to pursue their dreams of creating music that resonates with people. They faced numerous challenges, setbacks, and rejections, but their unwavering belief in their music and each other kept them going. After years of hard work, their music finally started gaining recognition, and they went from performing at local bars to touring nationwide.

“Breaking Chains”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C
Washed up on the rainy streets,
G D
Our dreams align, beneath concrete.
Em C
Lost in time, but we don’t mind,
G D
We’re breaking chains, one at a time.

(Chorus)
Em C
Breaking Chains, we are Clean Brake,
G D
Writing melodies for our own sake.
Em C
Chasing dreams, making our stake,
G D
With every beat, our hearts awake.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Through crowded bars and neon lights,
G D
We found our sound, in sleepless nights.
Em C
Echoes of hope, in our voice,
G D
We make our music, by choice.

(Chorus)
Em C
Breaking Chains, we are Clean Brake,
G D
Writing melodies for our own sake.
Em C
Chasing dreams, making our stake,
G D
With every beat, our hearts awake.

(Bridge)
Em C
In this journey, we partake,
G D
We are Clean Brake, for goodness sake.

(Chorus)
Em C
Breaking Chains, we are Clean Brake,
G D
Writing melodies for our own sake.
Em C
Chasing dreams, making our stake,
G D
With every beat, our hearts awake.

Outro
Em C
We are Clean Brake, breaking chains,
G D
In the rhythm of the rain.
