Introducing Breaking And Entering’s “Five To Watch” with Reverbnation

As a Milwaukee based music blog, Breaking And Entering has two obligations: to introduce Milwaukee music to the world, but to also bring a world of music to Milwaukee. That being said, I am thrilled to announce that Breaking And Entering has worked with Reverbnation to launch our monthly “Five To Watch” series. Every month, we will bring you five bands

Donald Trump: Make Punk Rock Great Again

Let me preface this by saying that in no way would I ever consider voting for Donald Trump, unless he were to start his GOP Convention speech by speaking of Hillary Clinton, saying “I made that bitch famous”. Then I would only briefly consider it, and subsequently slap myself back into reality. I’m usually never one to get political, and

INTERVIEW: Xavier Ruffin

  If you watch your fair share of Milwaukee music videos (which, we do), there’s no way you haven’t heard the name Xavier Ruffin, or at the very least, seen some of his impressive work. A graduate of MIAD, Xavier’s been consistently impressive as a videographer, photographer, producer, writer, editor, animator, and who knows what else for some time. He

Pop Punk Trick-Or-Treat

Let’s face it, cover songs are a lot like Halloween costumes; while they’re not the real thing, some are great, some are really clever, some are actually genuinely scary, and a lot of them suck. That being said, this week I divulged into Hopeless Records’ “Punk Goes…” series. Now, there should be a disclaimer here that many of the bands

VIDEO: Talking Hip Hop Beefs with Allen and Pat

Unless you’ve been disconnected from the internet in recent days, you’ve probably heard about the Twitter rant that Meek Mill went on, and Drake’s not one, but two response tracks. This got us thinking, and naturally, we went live on Meerkat to discuss not only this beef, but Action Bronson vs. Ghostface, Lil Wayne vs. Birdman, and plenty of fictional

Allen’s Mixtape: 6/6/2015

This week’s mixtape is more of an EP, actually. It has that sort of feel to it. I’m sure more songs were stuck in my head, but these were the top earworms. I also apparently had a thing for female singers today, so there’s that. Anyway, I’m headed up to Minnesota today, so there’s a chance I might be listening

Allen’s Mixtape: 5/23/15

I didn’t forget about you guys this long Memorial Day weekend. However, it’s a bit of a shorter playlist this time around. Mainly because these songs stayed in my head for multiple days this week. I’d be more than stoked if you play this at your barbeques this weekend, so if you do, let me know! Enjoy the mix!

Allen’s Mixtape: 5/16/15

I immediately went to work on my second weekly mixtape after my first one was published. I like this project, because you can kind of see the ebb and flow of my week based on my music choices. Or, conversely, there will be some weeks where things are completely random. That happens, too. Anyway, check out this week’s mix, with

Allen’s Mixtape: 5/9/2015

So here’s a new thing I’m gonna try to start doing. Or maybe I’ll just do it this one week. Whatever the case, I want to start bringing you a weekly mixtape, and this is the first (maybe only!) installment. To put it simple, I listen to a lot of music during the week. I mean… a lot of music.
