You look into each other's eyes and smile. The flowers you gave her lay delicately on the table. The night was magical, and nothing could ever be like this again. "I love you,” she whispers, and you nod in reply, because deep inside, you know where this is going.

the inevitable breakups blend powerful music/melodies reminiscent of The Jam/Jimmy Eat World, early rock n’ roll sensibilities of Buddy Holly, and the harmonies of power pop’s finest. The NEW YORK PRESS says, “With a sound and infectious vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Raspberries, Weezer, the Cars and Cheap Trick, the inevitable breakups manage to combine those artists’ musical qualities to full effect with some kick-ass results.”

With the release of their debut EP, No Wonder You’re So Beautiful, the inevitable breakups rocketed from the NYC indie rock scene and garnered attention via the strengths of their songsmith, Daniel Stampfel. THE BIG TAKEOVER called the EP which was co-produced by Richard Lloyd (Television), “The golden age of NYC new wave”. The band followed up this EP with a rousing 7-inch release in February 2004. NEON MAGAZINE called this recording “a testosterone-charged rocker of the sort Buddy Holly would perform” and stated that it “captures the raw energy that is so much at the heart of the groups’ live shows”.

Lead singer Daniel Stampfel spent many years in the Dallas rock scene with his band The Skastafarians, who appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. After the disbanding, Daniel moved to NYC and spent several years honing his skills as a songwriter and singer and eventually teamed up with veteran drummer and backing vocalist M. Dan Peña, formerly of the Joe Pagetta Band.

Drummer Dan perfected his craft in what seemed like an eternity in the Jersey rock scene. With an extraordinary strength for beating the drums and ear for melody, it was a rough cassette recording of Daniel's songs that caught his attention and inspired his weekly train rides into New York. The band recently added Joe Bates, formerly of the Willies, to complete the lineup. Joe grew up playing in bass violin in in concert orchestras and ensembles, and bass guitar in alternative / punk bands in Chicago and Buffalo. He has been performing and recording in the New York scene for the last 5 years.

IIt is the primary goal of the inevitable breakups to be the envy of all previous girlfriends and through extensive performing, find new girls who will inevitably break our hearts.
