Broken Vow originates from New England, Connecticut, and packs some powerful riffs that keep the crowd in constant action. The band is signed to New Morality Zine which is a hardcore record label based out of Chicago, Illinois. In every single one of the band's releases, you can hear the passion, not only in the vocals but in the instrumentals that sound as if they are calling out. Both Broken Vow's 2020 Demo and EP Sane Minds End are some of the most energetic and passionate pieces I have heard released in more recent times. The band's lyrics speak out against complacency as well as straight-edge themes such as cracking down on harmful drugs and violence. I saw Broken Vow play at the Cactus Club in Milwaukee and was absolutely blown away by the energy they brought to the small venue. Members of the band were overwhelmingly kind and wished everyone a safe ride home from their show. The band makes sure to stay true to their beliefs and keep their vow.
