Breaking Benjamin

To add to the credibility of the band, their first single "So Cold" has spent 37 weeks in the top 20 of the Billboard charts (as of February 3, 2005).
. Since Jeremy Hummell left the band in 2004, Breaking Benjamin has hired Chad Szeliga as the band's new drummer. She later switched to Smash Records (in 1961), Laurie Records (in 1962), and finally Dot Records (in 1966). They also created an original cut for the immensely popular video game Halo 2. She never again had another big hit, though in 1959 she had two small successeses for Roulette Records. On June 24, 2004, the band released We Are Not Alone, which featured the first single "So Cold". The song was a cover of a rhythm & blues song done by Otis Williams & the Charms, and another artist who also had a hit covering this song was Gale Storm.

Sticking to the genre's symbolistic downtuned guitars, which creates a haunting and overwhelming heaviness in their songs, they manage to keep their melodies prominent. It was for Fraternity that she had her only major hit, "Ivory Tower", which was her third record for Fraternity, done in 1956. Breaking Benjamin's roots are clearly alternative rock/metal band, but they are definitely heavier than their peers. In 1953 she signed with Coral Records, but had no hits for them, later switching to Fraternity Records, a small company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, in early 1955. Ben Burnley says that he self-taught himself the guitar by listening to Nirvana's Nevermind. She later became a singer and dancer with the USO and joined big band orchestras such as those of Sammy Kaye, Johnny Dee, and Larry Fontaine. The first single "Polyamorous" received much radio airplay, and propelled the band to stardom. As a child, she appeared on The Children's Hour, a television show locally aired in New York, sponsored by Horn & Hardart, a cafeteria chain which had locations in New York and Philadelphia.

The record had clear influences and touches of Tool, Korn, and Nirvana. She was born in the New York borough of The Bronx. Formed in late 2000, Breaking Benjamin signed up with Hollywood Records and released their first major-label record Saturate in 2002. Cathy Carr (June 28, 1936-1988) was a pop singer.
