Broken Testimony is a four-piece alternative rock/metal band that is focusing their overabundance of youthful energy into making some serious music. The band formed in Upstate South Carolina by drummer Bryce Chism and lead guitarist and vocalist, Judge Page (both 16 at the time), soon added two additional members; Justin King (bassist) and Nic Delvaux (rhythm guitar) to form the rich sounds of Broken Testimony. The band has a nice mix of substance, aggression, and memorable choruses. The band seeks inspiration from bands like: Breaking Benjamin, Tool, Chevelle, and Korn. Holding On To Nothing is their full-length album which contains eleven tracks that sound of a band that is unified in purpose and drive, the music will grab you and hold on to your attention. That’s the short of it!

Raw energy that is channeled into the music gives it a nice edge. There are interludes used between songs that tell a mini story, which creates a more unique thematic listening experience.
Broken Testimony is doing the right things, most importantly, they are on the road as a band and being true to their music and vision. Displaying solid musicianship and lyrics that accomplish a storytelling flow, along with slight deviations in their song forms that hit the spot. Holding On To Nothing has a strong flow of material along the musical road from point A to point B on this album and as a whole, this album proves that the fire is burning within this band, and won’t flame out anytime soon!
