Breaking Benjamin has been a dominant force in mainstream hard rock since Ben Burnley formed the band in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 1999. Their albums 'Phobia' and 'Dear Agony' produced a string of rock radio hits built on Burnley's distinctive vocal tone, massive guitar hooks, and lyrics that explore inner turmoil with anthemic resolve.
