Break Cover are a rock band forged on the edge of Salisbury Plain. We play covers — but not as you know them. Every song gets our own creative stamp, heavier, louder, and unapologetically rockier than the original.
The engine room is Dave and Pete, delivering a huge, distinctive bass and drum sound that drives everything forward. Terry and Simon layer on dual guitars, blending grit, melody and firepower, while powerful lead vocals from Amber and Terry put the final stamp on our sound.
No one else sounds quite like us. That may be why we were voted Best Covers Band and Best Live Band at the 2025 Salisbury Music Awards.
An exciting covers band, where no songs are out of bounds for the Break Cover treatment – rock, rock & roll, 80s, pop and even some more recent songs get an outing in the set. If you can sing-along or dance to it, then we’ll turn it into a Break Cover (see what we did there?).
We are five unique personalities that lock together to form the soundtrack to your weekend, putting you in a feel-good mood, singing along and getting you up and dancing.
Featuring music from every decade since the 60s including songs by Adele, Sia, AC/DC, Queen, Billy Idol, The Cult, Nena, Royal Blood, The Beatles, The Black Crows, Lenny Kravitz, Wheatus, Avril Lavigne, Transvision Vamp, Simple Minds, The Black Keys, Tina Turner, Kim Wilde, Joan Jett, Bryan Adams, Haelstorm, The Monkees, Girls Aloud and more.
In 2016 we supported John Coghlan’s Quo at the Barrington Theatre Ferndown and in 2017 we supported Bruce Foxton’s From the Jam!
As well as pubs, music venues and clubs, we are available for (and really enjoy playing) birthday celebrations, weddings, functions and corporate events.
We supply everything you need: 2,000W PA, Lights, and band members! We will also play background music while we set up, during any breaks, and while we pack down at the end of the night.

In 2014 and 2015 we were extremely grateful to win the Best Cover Band award at the Salisbury Music Awards.
We have been nominated every year since. That top stop eluded us. Until 2025!!
These awards are voted for for by you, the public, and that makes all of these achievements all the more special. THANK YOU.
DISCLAIMER: We are a live band with a live drummer using a real drum kit. Before booking us, please check out our videos for the kind of things we play and the volumes we play at. Our volume is limited by the drum kit as we can’t turn that down.
