Gangs of Ballet is a Durban-based band comprising of four musicians and friends.
Each accomplished musicians in their own rights, the band's members - Brad
Klynsmith (Vocals /Electric Guitar), Jonathan Rich (Keyboard/Synth), Hardus de Beer
(Bass Guitar) and Josh Klynsmith (Drums/Vocals) -- have combined their various
individual tastes and styles to create a sound that is captivatingly fresh.
Their music, which boasts a winning combination of their vibrant energy and a host of
musically intriguing melodies, cannot be pinned down to any specific genre but rather
experiments with an eclectic mix of alternative, melodic, anthemic, electronic and
dance. In any context, Gangs of Ballet's audiences are encouraged to experience the
band's music in ways that are dually intuitive and physical as their music seeks to
stimulate the musically-minded while also providing those merely seeking a good time
with a good reason to dance. Originally formed as a side-project, Gangs of Ballet
came into official existence at its debut gig opening for aKing in April of 2011.
Their Debut single, 'Breaking the Silence', was released in September of 2011 and by
early November it had entered into the 5fm Top 40 chart. The single thereafter
continued to climb its way up the chart and after just 10 weeks on the chart, 'Breaking
the Silence' entered the New Year at 7th place and secured a spot on 5fm's list of the
Top 100 Hottest Hits of 2011. The single is currently hitting all other radio stations
across South Africa, both regional and campus, attracting fans across the spectrum.
'Breaking the Silence' can also be heard as the soundtrack for Cell C's 'Be' campaign,
currently running on both TV and radio stations nationwide.

I was 10 years old when this was released, nine years later and I still can't describe the overwhelming melancholic nostalgia this song manages to encapsulate. Truly incomparable.

Great song!! Proudly South African… (This song gives me “Goose bumps” at 01.53 min… )

[@too-hot-to-handle01]

It physically pains me to see a perfectly good piano be abused like that. Also, those chords were a bit hard to work out at first, but it's super rewarding playing this song in the end. Well done!

[@joelburton4252]

They can't be compared to Coldplay as they are OURS . original. Well done guys.

I'm a huge Coldplay fan and whenever I hear this, they never come to mind but that's okay. If they're being compared to Coldplay then they're in good company. This song is hauntingly beautiful and strikes a cord deep down inside. That's what made me look it up and that's what will keep me coming back.

When the Lord saved us, we were helpless and wicked. But He wiped away all our sins and forgave us by His precious blood shed for us on the cross. Oh the great love of the Lord Jesus Christ! You have made us for yourself, Oh Lord, and we are restless till we rest in you.

[@PhindaSibeko]
