Powerpop. No Lie.

Broken Promise Keeper is a one-man studio band based in Decatur, Georgia, the coolest part of metro Atlanta.

The music is unabashedly pop, in that it's full of catchy, hook-filled melodies and vocal harmonies. But there's plenty of rockin' power in the driving guitars, chugging bass lines, and pounding drums.

BPK's ultimate goal is to write that sublimely perfect powerpop song, a candy-coated sonic grenade that will make you turn it up and sing along. He hasn't done it yet, but he's getting closer...
