Breaking Point is an American alternative rock band on the record label Wind-up Records. It was founded in 1999 in Memphis, Tennessee.

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.
