Peter, Bjorn and John - Breaker, Breaker

The first taste of Peter, Bjorn & John’s upcoming album Gimme Some is short, fast & aggressive. I hope all the songs on the record are like this, though even 2009’s Living Thing was meaner than you’d expect from the band. Sample line from “Breaker Breaker”: “Before you break my heart… I’m gonna break your nose and sing about it.” According to a band interview in Spin, John Ericksson wrote the song about a music journalist he doesn’t like. The video is a very basic performance clip, but it’s hard to get out an elaborate concept in under two minutes.
