1) A well known hardcore band similar to The Bronx from Detroit, Michigan. Formed in 2004, are now on an indefinite hiatus after playing their 'last' show in September 2005, though have played numerous 'reunion' shows around Detroit since.

"And for all their brutal, uninhibited rage there is an undeniable sense of intelligence and craft to the music. These are musicians who have studied songs, genres, subtleties and have made the choice to push them all over the edge. But beneath the violence of the delivery the band manages to hit on that indefinable sweet spot that brings the best of pop songs to life; the same thing that made the Replacements and the Clash great; a thing that triggers some part of the brain and makes it immediately memorable and reactive." -- S. Hoen

"Most bands just sound like they're going through the motions when placed next to Bang Bang, who sound like they're going to leap out of the grooves of this single and trash your house." -- Daniel / deepfrybonanza.com

"The members of Bang Bang have a boy-eyed innocence and this inalienable enthusiasm to entertain; they have big, often droll ideas wrapped in short scorching blasts, and play them as if they just made up the whole punk rock DIY thing last week. They are beguilingly sincere, if not downright elated to be playing at all." -- Brian Smith / Metro Times

2) "Fusing an inverted post-punk, glam damaged, shimmering fuzz rock schematic with a carbonized cake made from 1978 remapped: Bang! Bang! was birthed in 2002, all wiry whiplash dance punk in a town (Chicago) known for post-rock gurus that no one heeds anymore. Gretta Fine (Vocals, Bass) is pallid, sex-roiling, and unearthly, no gimmicks-- Jackie Flash (Vocals, Guitar) is the hormone heaving, slinky Italian captain of libido, while Nick Kraska (Drums) is the flexing and debauched moist rythmic king beneath it all as part time member Rachel Shindelman (Keyboards) has become the muse on many songs, sculpting the language and liquored lips of the band. So, welcome to the new pleasure dome, where the Bang! Bang! exhibition never stops." - David Ensminger, Left Of The Dial 07'

Break of Dawn
Bang! Bang! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the seconds run
When the sun is rising high
Across the lonely morning sky
Will you be there?
Lay the demons down to rest
Feel the warmth of my caress
As I slowly fall to sleep
I will be there in your arms

Till the stormy waters calm
I relax and feel your touch
In the places that I love so much
Hold me, feel me
Never let me go (don't let me go)
Show me, need me
'Cause I want you to stay at least
Until the break of dawn

Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you be there?
Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you be there?

On the coldest darkest night
Are you sure we'll be alright
As we gently drift to sleep (oh!)
In a secret fantasy
You are always there with me
Can I trust you in my heart?
Do you promise that we'll never part?
Hold me, feel me
Never let me go (don't let me go)
Show me, need me
'Cause I want you to stay at least
Until the break of dawn
Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you be there?

Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you be there?

Line by Line Meaning

As the seconds run
Time is passing by quickly

When the sun is rising high
It’s early in the morning, the sun is coming up and the day is beginning

Across the lonely morning sky
The sky is empty and still, nobody else is around yet

Will you be there?
I’m wondering if you’ll be with me this morning

Lay the demons down to rest
Let’s forget about our troubles and relax

Feel the warmth of my caress
Experience my comforting touch

As I slowly fall to sleep
I’m getting sleepy and starting to drift off

I will be there in your arms
I want to be held by you while we sleep

Till the stormy waters calm
Until everything in our lives settles down and is peaceful

I relax and feel your touch
Your touch helps me relax and feel at ease

In the places that I love so much
In the parts of my body that I enjoy being touched the most

Hold me, feel me
Embrace me and touch me

Never let me go (don't let me go)
Don’t leave me or let me slip away from you

Show me, need me
Demonstrate your love for me and show that you want me

'Cause I want you to stay at least
I want to be with you for a little while longer

Until the break of dawn
Until the sun fully rises and the morning has begun

On the coldest darkest night
Even in the most difficult and darkest times

Are you sure we'll be alright
Are you positive that we will get through this together

As we gently drift to sleep (oh!)
As we fall asleep slowly and softly

In a secret fantasy
In my imagination and dreams

You are always there with me
You are always by my side and in my thoughts

Can I trust you in my heart?
Do I truly believe that you are trustworthy and can be relied on

Do you promise that we'll never part?
Will you vow to never leave me and stay with me forever

Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you be with me when the sun comes up

Will you be there?
Will you be by my side

Will you be there? (Dawn)
Will you stay with me until morning has fully arrived

Will you be there?
Will you be there for me when I need you
