Breakdown Face
Breakdown Face is a shitcore band from Pontypridd, South Wales who formed in 2010 after the breakup of Colin's former band Dirty Chief. The line-up consists of Colin James MacFarlane, Dafydd 'Taf' Richards and Jake Takel. The band has released 2 studio albums to date.
History
Shortly after the split of Colin James MacFarlane's old project Dirty Chief, he got together with Dafydd 'Taf' Richards and Lucas Woodland to jam a cover for a school talent show. This jam session developed into the trio playing an old song written by MacFarlane called Framed. The three performed the song at the talent show and decided to continue making music together.
The band met for their first practice, during which they perfected Framed and wrote a new song called A&E. The very next day, they hit Reeltime recording studio in Cathays to record the tracks. After several more practices, the songs Driving Song and The Robot had taken shape and once recorded were released as the band's debut EP The First Breakdown Face...Let's Do This. The Robot was released with a music video and immediately sparked people's attention due to it's comedic and satirical nature.
Schoolboy Error & Lucas' Departure
Following the EP, the band immediately moved on to writing a full length album, consisting of 14 tracks. The album was recorded intermittently over the course of a year and eventually released in May of 2012. The album spawned further music videos for the songs Crew, Skitzo, Schoolboy Error and Punk as Fuck.
Drummer Lucas Woodland left the band shortly after the album's release and was replaced by Jake Takel.
Quarter Life Crisis
Breakdown Face have since released another full length album, Quarter Life Crisis, and a music video for the title track and another track titled "I'll do it Tomorrow".
