"Bend to Break" is the debut studio album by The Color Fred, the project of Fred Mascherino (formerly of Taking Back Sunday).

It was released in digipak style on "a minimum of 80% post-consumer waste recycled paper". [Found written on the back cover of the CD.] "I like to keep everything I do as close to carbon footprint zero as possible," he says. "The guys at Equal Vision had to search far and wide to make my packaging goal a reality. But it’s well worth it. It’s really important to me and if everyone else did it, it would make a big difference." [http://www.msopr.com/?q=node/3385&PHPSESSID=4a86f942f84b75dc9a5ed21cadaadfbc]
