NIGHTBREAK was originally formed in 1991 under the name "Wicked Youth" by founding member Guitarist & Lead Vocalist, Todd Verni. Along with his family and close friends as teenagers living on Long Island, New York. A Rock friendly, pre Grunge vibe, the band was stylistically & harmoniously in flow with the traditional bands of the 70’s and 80’s. As the mid 90’s approached, the band dismembered while moving forward into forming their own bands with more of an era friendly heavier sound. As the early 2000’s marched in the sound of hard edged Rock & Metal music were long gone from the mainstream media.

 Taking over the clubs was the ashes & remixes of the older form of tribute bands, AC/DC, Guns ‘N’ Roses, KISS, etc. Todd decided now is the time to get back to basics and started writing fresh material for fans of the now deemed "old school" crowd of listeners. Under the new name "NIGHTBREAK" as of 2005, the original members headed into the studio to record their first self-titled LP with Producer, Dan Malloy. Over ten years later & hard at work on their now 4th record, the name continues to grow along with an overflow of new internet musicians. All due to the appreciation & dedication of those who yearn for quality Rock & Metal music that still lives on in many of our hearts.
