One of country music’s underrated bands underwent a quiet rebranding last summer, but now they’re ready to make some noise. After 15 years as Boy Named Banjo, the band formed by childhood friends made the difficult decision to change their name to Breakfield, ushering in a new era for the Nashville-based bluegrass-turned-Americana quartet. Signed with Rounder Records, they released their first single “Canyon Walls” under the new moniker back in October, and earlier this week, they followed that up with another new single and some big news. With the release of their latest track “Ever-Loving Mind,” Breakfield took to Instagram to unveil plans for their self-titled record due out this summer. “Self-titled album coming June 12 via Rounder Records.  Our new single ‘Ever-Loving Mind’ is out today! Getting to this day has been a journey… We spent over 2 years working on this record – our approach this time was different. We slowed down and dove deeper into the songs than ever. We let them lead the way. Even if that meant changing our name of 15 years to best represent them. But most importantly, we stayed true to ourselves in the process and had a blast making this thing. We couldn’t be more proud of it. And that’s really all that matters.” View this post on Instagram Featuring 11 brand new tracks, Breakfield marks a turning point in the band’s story, and could facilitate the breakthrough they’ve been grinding toward all these years. And if the two singles they’ve released thus far are any indication, then this album is going to be a special one. “Ever-Loving Mind,” their latest release, perfectly captures their sonic prowess, as the band’s intricate instrumentation shines behind deft lyricism and an incredibly catchy chorus that is sure to resonate with everyone who listens. Give it a listen for yourself here: Here is the full tracklist, including the record’s lead single “Canyon Walls.” Breakfield Tracklist: “Canyon Walls” “Angel 41” “Ever-Loving Mind” “Rivers Run” “Let A Good Thing Die” “Travel On” “Pull Some Strings” “Straight For Heartbreak” “Darker Out Tonight” “Live By Me” In recent years, Mike and the Moonpies rebranded to Silverada, and Read Southall Band shortened their name to Southall. Both bands seemed to continue without a hitch in the giddy up, per se, and Breakfield should be no exception. The fact of the matter is that most bands grow unsatisfied with the name they chose when they first get started, and although a full rebrand is risky, it may be worth a shot. And Breakfield had the gumption to do it. If you like what you’ve heard from Breakfield so far, make sure to catch a show on their first tour with the new name if they’re coming to a city near you.
