1. Unbroken was a metalcore band from San Diego, California. They were influential in the Southern California hardcore scene during the mid-to-late 1990s. The band chose the name Unbroken because they wanted to emphasize their dedication to the straight edge philosophy of drug abstinence. However, most of the members have since given up this belief.
The band's members were also in the groups Struggle, Swing Kids , Kill Holiday, Julia, Some Girls, Smooth Man Automatic, Johnny Angel, Stabbed By Words, and Over My Dead Body before, during, and after Unbroken's existence.
Guitarist Eric Allen committed suicide 3 years after the break up of the band. The band reformed soon after Eric's death for 1 show as a benefit to Eric's family.
Rob Moran until recently played in the hardcore group Some Girls and now resides in Seattle. He has more recently started a band with John Pettibone (former member of Undertow and Nineironspitfire, currently in Himsa), Ryan Murphy (former member of Undertow, Ten Yard Fight, Ensign) and Aram Arslanian (guitarist of Champion and vocalist for Betrayed). The band, The Vows, is a straight-edge band that is musically influenced by the old-school hardcore band Judge. The Vows released a CD on Indecision Records in 2006.
Rob Moran is in a new band called Narrows with Dave Verellen of Botch and Ryan Frederiksen of These Arms Are Snakes. They have an EP and album coming out on independent label Deathwish Inc.
Dave Claibourne sings for the band Stabbed By Words (who have a full length out on Hawthorne Street Records), and is a drum & bass DJ with Dedication Crew in St. Louis, MO.
Steve Andrew Miller moved away from San Diego and he resides in Orange County. He has a band called Crushed On You. Former Bleeding Through guitarist and long-time O.C. scenester Scott Danough joined the band a couple of months ago.

2. Unbroken is the name of a free-jazz trio, consisting of Louie Belogenis (saxophones), Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (bass), and Kenny Wollesen (drums). They released their first self-titled album on the Tick Tock label in 2005, to little critical acclaim.
My Time
UnBroken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just see that greed never cares for where we live,
Pass this onto others well after us,
The few times that we care never seems quite enough,
And I know that there is only one air that we breathe,
Eternal foundation or is that what we think we see,
I see a chance to put myself on this stand
Purify that is gone I hope soon will return,
The only changes they know are the ones that cost the least,
It's time to take it back it's up to you and me,
And I know that there is only one air that we breathe,
Eternal foundation or is that what we think we see,
I see a chance to put myself on this stand,
And I see that I am not the only man I can do more,
I can do more, I can do more than sit back and let you destroy me
The lyrics of UnBroken's song My Time speak to the importance of environmental conservation and taking action to protect the planet we live on. The singer acknowledges that they have set high standards for their own behavior when it comes to protecting the environment and living sustainably, and they see that greed and apathy are major obstacles to achieving a healthy planet for all. The phrase "the few times that we care never seems quite enough" suggests a sense of discouragement and frustration with the limited impact that individual efforts can have in the face of widespread disregard for the environment.
The singer also recognizes that there is only one planet and one air that we all share, and questions the idea of an "eternal foundation" or a stable, unchanging world that can sustain itself without human intervention. They see an opportunity to take a stand for the environment, and emphasize that they are not alone in this effort - "I am not the only man to answer the cry of a bleeding earth." The song ends with a call to action, urging listeners to "take it back" and join in the effort to protect the earth from those who would destroy it.
Overall, the lyrics of My Time convey a sense of urgency and determination to protect the environment, acknowledging the challenges but also emphasizing the possibilities for change through collective action.
