History edit

Breached released three EPs, and their first single (and the title track) from their third EP, "Left Behind",[6][7] released in 2013, was played in rotation on the Canadian rock radio circuit,[citation needed] including Sirius XM's Iceberg Radio, and was featured in a CFL highlight reel (Ultimate Replay: Week 13).[citation needed]

In 2012, Breached began raising funds to produce a full-length album.[8] Instead, they produced an EP of acoustic music which they called Revolution Sessions in March 2013.[9][10] In June the band was featured in UK's Powerplay Magazine, promoting the release.[citation needed]

Breached released a video on August 20, 2013, featuring drummer Neil Uppal singing popular love songs from the 90's, and gained 16,000 views within the first week of its release.

In 2014, Breached joined Hollerado and Pup at the Sound Academy in Toronto for Fredfest, presented by 102.1 The Edge.[11]

Breached filmed a music video for their second single, "Piece By Piece".[12] The single and the video were released in January 2015.[citation needed] The video was unusual in that its ending could be chosen by the viewer.[13][14][15]
