Japanese bands rarely get exposure on the shores of North America, and Breakfast is no exception. Amidst the throes of hardcore bands that are currently active in Japan, Breakfast has one defining characteristic separating them from most: their love for skateboarding. They seem to love skateboarding just as much as rocking a stage, and their musical style stays oh-so-true to a late-80s hardcore skatepunk paradigm. The artwork of many of their CD releases and other merchandise often displays the work of Raymond Pettibon, famous for his connection to bands such as Black Flag and the Minutemen, among others.
