The Breetles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breetles are an American band, led by Chris Breetveld. They formented in Kendall Park, South Brunswick, New Jersey becoming one of the founding rocks of the "Kendall Park Sound". Currently they are force-feeding the West Orange Sound on the neighbours.

The Breetles are Breetveld and anyone else that plays Breetles songs, with or without him. Power-pop, cleverly-stupid, quiet is the new loud...you get the idea. Dumb is the new brilliant. DIY meets GFY.
