Midnight Oil founding members Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey , togther with Violent Femmes bass player Brian Ritchie have indulged their shared love of old surf music by forming a new band, The Break.
While Midnight Oil were known for their politically and socially aware lyrics, The Break's songs will be largely instrumental.
