More details below: Farro tells MTV how Novel American formed: [...]

Long Island's own Not So Broken, though a small-time band, is not one to be overlooked. With a talented drummer, unique guitars and a vocalist reminiscent of Paramore, these guys bring the fun as well as the emotion. The songs, though short in length, are power-packed with spirit. "Again" has a cool sound coming at 2:00, one that I don't hear a lot in many pop-punk bands, and then tops it off with a chugging breakdown into the end of the song. The big standout of this demo is "You Take My Pants, I'll Take My [Insert [...]
