The New Breed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a rock band for other uses, see The New Breed (disambiguation).

The New Breed were a punk rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Forming in early 1997. Band members were: Dave Robertson - Guitar, Lionel Stanly - Guitar/Mandolin, Brian Whalen - Bass, Alec Oickle - Drums, and Jonny Stevens - Vocals. The band played a mix of street punk, working class rock'n'roll and Celtic folk. The latter was augmented by the frequent use of the mandolin in the band's instrumentation. While the group dissolved in the fall of 2005, they drew comparisons in their time to the Clash, Dropkick Murphys and Swingin' Utters. The New Breed released the bulk of their catalogue through Ohio based hardcore label Thorp Records.

Stevens has since pursued a solo career as a singer / songwriter.
