Music review: Cello quartet rocks New Directions fest
Review by Edward Ortiz - Bee Arts Critic, Sacramento Bee, Tuesday, June 12, 2007
"The cello rock band Break of Reality has serious street cred in two musical arenas -- speed metal and classical music. In a blistering one-hour set, this four-member ensemble proved that there's more to the cello than meets the eye."

"The Sound Between is the strongest and most original recent addition to my music library, where it has been in heavy rotation since I got itSongs go from 0 to 60 in a split second, turning on a dime to take you from a quiet chamber recital to a thundering arena rock concert: Fans of both Nine Inch Nails and Kronos Quartet will be pleased."

I SCENE IT: Reality moves on
Rochester City News - Frank DeBlase
"Break Of Reality is gonna win a Grammy somedaythis band has something everyone needs: excitement, originality, and an undeniable intensity that louder, heavier bands only dream of. And it has bridged the classical/rock gap while other bands have fallen short, or horsed it into the boat with way too much bombastic pomp."

"Their tunes are well written, consistently interesting, and achieve a near perfect balance between classical string sounds and distortion-box-colored thrashy metal."
