Boston’s we broke the weather are back with their second album, Restart Game, an adventurous dive into progressive stoner rock. Two years after their self-titled debut, the band continues to surprise and captivate with their unique blend of sounds.
Restart Game is like an endless musical odyssey, combining the intricate complexity of progressive rock, the heavy grooves of stoner rock, and the expansive, improvisational spirit of jazz fusion. This genre mix, celebrated for its technical prowess and heavy, spacey vibes, is perfectly captured in we broke the weather’s latest creation.
The band features Nick Cusworth and Scott Wood, multi-instrumentalists who share vocal duties while playing sax, keys, synths, and guitars. Their dynamic interplay is bolstered by Andrew Clark’s versatile drumming and vocals, Kevin DiTroia’s memorable guitar riffs, and Steve Muscari’s skillful handling of bass, guitar, and synths. Together, they craft a sound that’s both intricate and immersive.

Each song is filled with unexpected twists and turns.
