Breaking Point formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1999 and made their records for Wind-up. Brett Erickson sang and played both lead and rhythm guitar, Justin Rimer played lead guitar, and Jody Abbott, who died in 2022, was the original drummer; Greg Edmondson, David Cowell and drummer Aaron "Zeke" Dauner also passed through the lineup.
Their sound was hard and clean: chunky riffs, a steady rhythm section and hooks aimed squarely at the rock dial. The debut album, Coming of Age, threw off the singles "Coming of Age", "Brother" and "One of a Kind", which reached number 38 on the Mainstream Rock chart in 2002.
Beautiful Disorder arrived in 2005 and did even better. "Show Me a Sign" climbed to number 25 on Mainstream Rock, "All Messed Up" crossed over to number 26 on the Hot Adult Top 40 chart, and "Promise Keeper" rounded out the album's singles.
