Picture Me Broken is an American five-piece rock band from Redwood City, California.
BAND HISTORY
Originally starting out as a classic rock cover band in the seventh grade at North Star Academy (where they played in talent shows) under the name Lane Four, they have gone on to win a radio contest and to play the San Francisco stops of the Warped Tour, Projekt Revolution Tour and PacSun Tour. They have shared the stage with bands such as Saosin, Alesana, Atreyu, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Black Veil Brides, and Hawthorne Heights.
Their debut full-length album Wide Awake was made available on July 6, 2010 via Megaforce Records.
The original lineup included Layla Brooklyn Allman, Nick Loiacono, Austin Dunn, and Eric Perkins. Perkins was replaced with Connor Lung so he could focus on his schoolwork. Will Escher was added as rhythm guitar player for the band, but soon left to attend college. Loiacono left the band to attend college and pursue a career in music production; he was replaced by Dante Phoenix. Jimmy Strimpel later replaced Will Escher as a rhythm guitarist.
The band is currently writing/recording music for the follow up to Wide Awake in Fall of 2011, debuting their new guitar players Dante Phoenix and Jimmy Strimpel.
The band was recently signed to booking agency TKO/The Kirby Organization and is represented by company president and agent, Andrew Goodfriend.
