Our story

A BROKEN MIC
AND A NAME.

We're Breaking Benjamin, a rock band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. This is our store: every design we make, on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies.

Breaking Benjamin started in Wilkes-Barre around the turn of the 2000s, when Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel got together. We went by Plan 9 for a while. The name goes back to a borrowed microphone: Ben broke it, its owner thanked "Benjamin for breaking" it, and the name we kept had already turned up on promotional stickers.

Saturate came out in 2002, then We Are Not Alone, Phobia and Dear Agony. From 2010 the band was on hiatus while Ben dealt with recurring illnesses, and in 2014 we came back with a reformed lineup: Ben, Jasen Rauch, Keith Wallen and Aaron Bruch. Dark Before Dawn debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2015, and Ember followed in 2018.

Our merch carries that whole story, on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, with kids' and youth sizes too.
