Breaking Benjamin

Breaking Benjamin is an American rock band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, formed in 1999 by lead singer and guitarist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel. The first lineup of the band also included guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark Klepaski. This lineup released two albums, Saturate and We Are Not Alone, before Hummel was replaced by Chad Szeliga in 2005. The band released two more studio albums, Phobia and Dear Agony, before entering an extended hiatus in early 2010 due to Burnley's recurring illnesses. Amid the hiatus, the release of a compilation album, Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin, unauthorized by Burnley, brought about legal trouble within the band resulting in the dismissal of Fink and Klepaski. Szeliga later announced his departure in 2013 citing creative differences.
