Society of generations past has set upon us today a world that has been programmed to think and function not individually and independently, but rather as a culture under a scathing standard.  Principles have been skewed and insight becomes flat and distant from prismatic interpretation, while our everyday thoughts become dry and mundane with the daily concern of falling from the circle that this civilization has dubbed orthodox.  The insecure persecute while the open-minded are persecuted.  Freedom of expression crumbles to the feet of acceptance.  Circumstance becomes typical and reactions are narrowly arranged.  Rules are made to provoke fear of consequence - but this does not make them moral or just.  Think outside the proverbial box of society.  Be someone because you can, not because you have to.  Do not fall victim to a culture that has blindly been programmed numb.

Broken Sunday, 2000	BS Biography During the summer of 1998, three stout young lads from Grand Rapids, MI came together to form The Ambience, a rock trio that would better humankind and spark world peace. Two months and one show later, the trio broke up. But the following year held promise for two members, who sought to complete the montage of music that is now known as Broken Sunday. In mid-1999 guitarist Awstyn Poel and drummer Brad Harris once again found themselves in a quasi-band together, desperately in search of a bassist who could also take care of secondary vocals and harmonies. Luckily, Brad's best friend, Steffan Copenhaver, happened to be disgustingly musically inclined.  Steff joined the band, and the rock trio was seemingly complete.  During this time, vocal spotlights were traded between Awstyn and Steffan.
They gigged under the guise of an uncertain 5th Precept for nearly a year.  Upon recording their first CD demo, they realized the deep hatred they all secretly shared for the band name. After considering a few different options, it was soon changed indefinitely to Broken Sunday.  Since then, the band has undergone many musical maturations, as well as a line-up change in the summer of 2001 when adding Joe Cisler as the permanent singer and the most recent addition of Sean Copenhaver on guitar in 2002.

Broken Sunday, 2002	Broken Sunday have developed their own defined sound and style and continue to mature over time. The band's debut album, Programmed Numb, will be released to the public in November of 2002. While the members of Broken Sunday take pride in their musical products and love to perform, it is actually the friendship within the band that is the key factor to their unity.
