FONO's new project "Too Broken To Break" is a metaphor for the current state of the music industry itself. Mixed by world renown producer Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder, Pixies, Radiohead), and mastered, once again by Bill Dooley (Madonna, Deftones), "Too Broken To Break" consists of eleven radio ready hits, cohesively sewn together and wrapped up in red duct tape. The must-have album of the year retains oft-missing optimism enmeshed with a driving rhythm section to create a big rock sound for eleven songs straight. You have to hear it to believe that each song is truly better than the next, an authentic Album by an authentic group poised to the music world by storm - FONO, "Too Broken To Break."

I Get Knocked Down... I Get Up Again| Posted October 29, 2007
Ever had one of those days? What about one of those years? You know, the one where everything that can go wrong, does? It's been like that for four piece band Fono. A string of circumstances, including a fire that destroyed their studio and the master recordings of their almost complete follow-up EP, caused a lengthy delay between their critically acclaimed debut goesaroundcomesaround and Too Broken To Break, their full-length sophomore release. But trying times didn't stop the "Billboard's World Indie Series" finalist, Heatseeker and Kerrang Magazine's "Best Unsigned Band" modern rock band.
Fono returns to the music scene with their second full-length, and third domestic studio release after a (very busy) three years. Too Broken To Break continues the band's penchant for delivering powerful, drivingly tempoed music melded with intelligent lyrics that tackles head-on, an increasingly empty and self-absorbed world.
The band's sound continues to dabble with the Brit-rock influence of goesaroundcomesaround but has matured to a more sophisticated rock vibe alá The Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy and, at times even Unforgettable Fire era U2. Fono's sound is radio ready but remains distinct from the crowded marketplace. Layered, vigorous guitar work and drums that swell and crescendo with lead singer Del Currie's emotive vocals drench every song.
Fono's sound is evocative of Smashing Pumpkins, The Fold, InterpolThe Myriad, Over It and The Classic Crime. If these bands fit your taste, do yourself a favor and head on over to Fono's website (http://www.fono.net) and download Too Broken To Breakfree! That's right, the band is giving away their latest album! You've got nothing to lose. And then if you like it, buy it and support this extremely talented band.
