Breaking Benjamin was formed in 1998 by Benjamin Burnley (vocalist) and Jeremy Hummel (drummer). In 1999 they renamed themselves “Plan 9” In 2000 they went back to their original name. Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski joined as guitarist and bassist. In 2001 the band signed onto Hollywood records. They had a great success with their independently released album named EP. On August 27, 2002 they released “Saturate”. Their first three single Polyamorous, Skin and Medicate did not receive mush air play and had little success. On June 24 2004 they released “We are not alone”. This album featured So Cold, Sooner or Later, and Rain as their singles. So Cold went as high as number 2 on the U.S. Billboard mainstream rock chart. Later in 2004 they released So Cold EP. This contained live recordings of So Cold, Breakdown, Away and Blow me Away. In 2006 they released “Phobia” their third album. “The Dairy of Jane” which was the first single went as high as number two on the Mainstream Rock Chart. The reason why I chose this band was because of the way the vocalist sings. He can really change his voice to the way the music is being played.
