Breaches, the post-punk duo from Wellington, New Zealand, is composed of Hayden Ellis and Matt McGuiness.

Following their recent performance opening for Ville Valo (formerly of HIM) in Auckland, the band has been actively releasing new music. Their latest singles, “Twist the Knife” and “Left Behind,” have set the tone for their sound.

They now also unveiled a video for “Twist the Knife,” a track that holds significant meaning for the band. According to Hayden Ellis, “’Twist the Knife’ was the first song we wrote together, and it really defined our direction as a band. The song deals with the feeling of being lost in an unfamiliar place and is dedicated to the memory of a late friend who was always searching for an escape.”

With new music coming in the months ahead, Breaches will support Attrition (UK) in Wellington in November.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
