New Zealand Alt-Rock Duo Midwave Breaks have made a serious impact at Rock Radio since launching in 2021, with 6 Independent singles hitting the Top 10 NZ Rock Airplay Chart.

“Hitting the nail on the head once again, Midwave Breaks never have to try hard to capture listeners and audiences in a way that is organic and true, and always seems to accomplish what they set out to achieve. Amazing.” – Muzic.net.nz EP Review

With a growing fanbase, captivating live performances, and an outstanding story of independent airwaves success, Midwave Breaks garnered the attention of industry, earning themselves a finalist nod for Best Rock Artist at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards, despite not having yet released a full album.

This audience and radio rapport is not surprising considering the band’s history; Drummer Paul Russell is a former member of the iconic multi-platinum-selling kiwi band Supergroove, as well as a performer with the International hit musical Stomp, and was inducted into the NZ Music Hall of Fame in 2014. Singer-songwriter Bruce Conlon brings his own accolades as a multi-instrumentalist, respected solo artist, and winner of two International Song-Writing Awards. The pair share a long history, first crossing musical paths at Lynfield College circa 1989, and through the late 90’s co-founded Auckland Rockers Eight, whose album release Moving achieved significant rock-radio airplay, and certified Gold sales via Sony/BMG.

Midwave Breaks have also made their presence felt on stage, as a two-piece delivering a huge sound, infectious live energy, and dynamic performance.
