Brokencyde Bio
Beginning (2006–2007)Brokencyde was founded by vocalists Se7en and Mikl. According to interviews, the name of the band originated from a self-described idea of their music being fundamentally "broken inside" due to personal relationship problems. After the band began actively promoting themselves online, members Phat J and Antz joined Brokencyde to complete its current lineup.
BC13 EP (2008–2009)
Brokencyde toured with bands such as Breathe Carolina, The Morning Of, Karate High School, and Drop Dead, Gorgeous. In July 2008, Brokencyde appeared on MTV's Total Request Live, where they performed the single "FreaXXX" on the segment "Under the Radar." They signed with Suburban Noize Records later that summer, and released the BC13 EP on November 11, 2008 during a promotion with the retail chain Hot Topic.
In 2008, the group performed dates on the Millionaires-headlined "Get F$cked Up" tour, along with Hyper Crush, And Then There Were None, and The Arrival. In the fall of 2008, they performed on the "I'm So Fierce" tour with headliner, Jeffree Star. Brokencyde appeared twice on "Fearless Music TV," performing their songs "Sex Toyz" and "FreaXXX" in December 2008.

The group's first full-length release, I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It, debuted at #86 on the Billboard 200 in July, 2009. Brokencyde was featured on the US Warped Tour 2009, but left the tour in August to play featured appearances in Europe.

Reception
Brokencyde has been panned by critics. Metal Edge magazine has called Brokencyde "fucking horrendous". "Thrash Magazine" has called them "a mockery to the world of music". Cracked.com contributor Michael Swaim said the band sounded like "a Slipknot-Cher duet". British commentator Warren Ellis calls Brokencyde's "FreaXXX" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s shit about this point in the culture".
The New Musical Express stated in a review of I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It!, that "even if I caught Prince Harry and Gary Glitter adorned in Nazi regalia defecating through my grandmother’s letterbox I would still consider making them listen to this album too severe a punishment."
Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low told mtv.com:
"There used to be that whole mentality of ... it had to be 100 percent genuine, or no one would take it seriously. But that whole line has been blurred now ... You have all these kids coming up on Disney pop who then discover bands like BrokeNCYDE, and they're like, 'Oh my God, they said fuck!,' and they fall in love instantly, because it's their version of '80s punk."
August Brown of the Los Angeles Times writes:
"This 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."
Brown further stated, in a review of the Los Angeles stop of the Vans Warped Tour:
"The prerecorded backing tracks and juvenile misogyny of bands such as the New Mexico screamo-crunk act BrokenCYDE are affronts to traditionalist punk values."
On several occasions, falsehoods about the band gained media traction. In June 2010, Brokencyde was falsely reported to have died in a car accident in Colorado. In July 2010, it was falsely reported that the band was arrested on drug, statutory rape and child pornography charges. The story originated from www.tmznews.tk, a source posing as the celebrity news website TMZ.com and created by a Canadian student. In response to these reports, Brokencyde's Phat J said: "Honestly, we are sort of appalled by it, but we are used to it. People just want to try and throw dirt on our name and they have to make things up to make us seem like bad people so people won't like us. I would never do that to someone, so I can't relate to someone who would do it to us."
