[edit] Band history
Shortly after its founding, the band's big break came when its guitarist, Justin Rimer, took a job at Ardent Studios. Through connections he made, the band was able to record a demo. Local airplay led to the band being signed by Wind-up Records, a label distributed by Sony BMG.
Breaking Point's debut album, Coming of Age, was released in 2001 with a follow-up, Beautiful Disorder, released in 2005.
Their songs have been used in a number of films, including The Scorpion King and Fantastic Four, as well as a trailer for Biker Boyz. Additionally, their song "One of a Kind" is the entrance music for professional wrestler Rob Van Dam.
In mid-2006, Breaking Point toured the United States with former Creed frontman Scott Stapp. As of July 2007, guitarist Justin Rimer has been performing as a member of 12 Stones.
