TuneLab member and 89X rock radio DJ Jay Hudson was lucky enough to hear Breaking Benjamin’s new single “I Will Not Bow” today, and he has offered up his thoughts on the song, check it out below:
“I got a chance to hear it a few times today! This has been something I’ve been looking forward to all summer. Short and sweet, here’s what I gathered from it…
If there is one Breaking Benjamin song that combines all elements from their previous three albums….this is the one! It has that patented BB sound using great melodies, catchy hook and big breakdowns! Ben Burnley’s voice sounds better then ever! Chad Szeliga definitely showcases his talent on the kit, with some Danny Carey (Tool) like drum fills…wait, did I just say that? In addition to that, the guitars sound amazing, with a nice little solo in there too! David Bendeth did a great job producing this song! I believe all the die hard BB fans will be very satisfied.”
The track, which impacts rock radio on August 17th, is the first single from the band’s upcoming new album ‘Dear Agony‘ due out September 29th.

good things
Jay, if there is any comparison to any of their previous songs, which one does it sound most like.
thanks for the exclusive TL
awesome!!!! I can’t wait to hear it.
Stop teasing us with this nonsence!! Ahhh, it’s tearing me apart
AHHH MY GODD, thanks a lot for the review. Can you by any chance tell us how long it is?
Dang, that’s awesome. I’m glad he did the review. Makes me want to hear it so much worse now haha. Guitar solo?! AWESOME!
I’m very jealous. I think you should be required to have their symbol tattooed on your back to hear it early.
That actually would be a pretty tattoo to have, especially if you are irish.
*pretty cool* tattoo to have. dammit i type too fast that i skipped an entire word.
I like it as a tattoo. It’s my picture on here.
Give us the song. Do it now!
Thanks for the review, Jay!
Nice. Sounds like it won’t disappoint. I want to hear it!!!
@evilangel – The song is 3:38 in length. You didn’t hear that from me.
guys, u could listen to the song on youtube…studio version
It is 3:38. and it sounds sweet!
^^ actually the track length was made public a while ago via studio updates on tsb
i can’t find it on youtube.
Nah, it won’t be on youtube yet.
there are 2 Kyles? lol.
I couldn’t find it either
I’m the original Kyle
No, I’M the original Kyle! Don’t listen to that impostor!!!
Haha! Just kidding. I am Kyle the second, yes. But yeah… I only wish I knew it sounded sweet
trying to trick people doesn’t work very well around here, does it?
Actually i was tricked i was trying everywhere to find it. I can’t find it. Oh well.
I seriously cannot wait to hear this.
I think it was posted on youtube- there is a person’s account that’s suspended and in the google description it looks like a download code or file or something for mega upload.
If that is true, I’m pretty sure someone else got their hands on it. So get ready for it to spread like wild fire.
The anticipation is killing me!
Just called in to my local station, and they got it. I tried to get them to play it for me on the phone HAHA, but they said they will play it Monday at 12:01 AM.
Ha, something I didn’t think of salastna.
Lmao, that’s great salastna.
They were going to, but they chickened out.
ITS ON THEIR MYSPACE PAGE RIGHT NOW
lieing sack of shit
@svtbird
Hey douchebag, welcome to Tunelab.
There are actually three Kyles. But i’m the best
This is way awesome… I love what I am reading. I HOPE someone can leak it or something!!
OH man Im sorry, “blow me away” is on there right now and I thought that was the name of the new song but its “i will not bow”
But I get to listen to Jay Hud every night anyway
ROOKIE MISTAKE LOL
It’s all good man, no sweat.
It is on youtube just to let people know. But it’s kind of tricky to find, I’ll just say that.
its okay!!!!
how do you find it.. ive looked
so did I, dude and there’s nothing
just post the link man lol
Sorry Mike, I thought you were doing it on purpose.
If it was really on youtube, he would’ve said what to look up. I’ve looked about a hundred times, and there’s nothing that I could find
haha, nah. I’m just messin with you guys.
Sounds like it’s gonna be great (but then again, was there ever any doubt?) I wonder how many comments we’ll generate when the album actually does drop, a girl can’t go to the beach for a day without coming home to even more massive comments on some news about BB lol. Had all their stuff on shuffle on my iPod today when I wasn’t swimming, I’m getting really excited about this, any word on any upcoming tour dates/locations after the album drops?
You’re a douche.
@marissa. later this month, BB is going to announced a small headlining tour (about 6 weeks) then a 2010 tour. i got this info from the shallow bay if anyone cares.
50 posts already, damn!
Thanks onoleader, I’m hoping there’ll be some Southeast coast dates on it, I’m definitely taking off work for it, it’s been years since I last saw them. The last time I had tickets to see them it was supposed to be at the House of Blues in Mrytle Beach, SC not long after Phobia had came out and it was cancelled because Ben was sick. They had several dates at the end of that tour cancelled if I remember correctly in fact.

oops sorry…wrong link
Why cant we have Jay over at 89x play it on the radio station so we can listen to that station live online!!!
There’s no point in having specific dates to play a song on the radio. If the station has it, there’s no reason not to play it
If I understand this correctly, Mr. Hud got to hear the single because he is a radio dj, and will be playing the song whenever, so… did Mr. Hud get a dj single in the mail? Is it against protocol or whatever to post up the single art? Sometimes it’s an actual “cover”, other times it’s just a blank cover. I am just curious
This is too good, haha. For real, this song cant be THAT good for real. There is no way this is the highly anticipated album of the year can it? Breaking Benjamin? Really? Or how about the greatest album of this year? It’ll be hard to judge between this and Chevelle, Alice In Chains, AFI, Default, The Used, Creed, Atreyu, 30 Seconds To Mars, and others. How about Mudvayne, Three Days Grace, and Crossfade?
Last I heard Crossfade broke up, but I could be wrong.
Please………someone……….ban shadowking once and for all.
hey armageddon2000, where did u hear that? I didn’t hear anything about a Crossfade breakup
Crossfade hasn’t broke up, unless something has happened recently and armageddon knows the band personally.
DEAR AGONY,
Please Hurry Up!
From A Huge BB Fan
The radio stations don’t have the single yet, they’re just getting to hear previews of it.
I read it on Crossfade’s website last year. Things may have changed since then.
Not what my station said Mikel, they got it digitally this morning.
Apparently I was wrong. They just split from their label last year and are currently unsigned, but they are still together. And they are actually working on an album. My bad guys
cool to know omar, jayhud said he would let me know when he can play it so we can tune in, but I’m really guessing it’s going to leak before then.
I am litterally looking out for that song the next few days and so on. I mean on their myspace page and radio because I will find it. And I will prove to people why they call me Shadowking after listening to this song.
Mikel, someone on the shallow bay said they called jayhud personally and he said the song will be played next weds.
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it here, but someone from TSB reminded me of Saturday’s date (8/8)! The 3 year anniversary of Phobia! Song will probably be put up on that date!
Thanks ono, he told me that earlier tonight. But like i said above, the song will most likely leak well before that.
Is there a way to make a “rolls eyes” smiley?
Finally, after searching forever I found it!

That link you posted is NOT the song ^^^
I HATE them and i still know what they sound like.
lol, what band is that?
natevshurricane, it seems pretty legit to me…
Hey look guys, im not trying to post on here a million times. But i shouldve thought a little more before i trashed BB. I respect them, mainly cause they got me through high school. But i just dont listen to them anymore. Theres no delete button for posts so consider this an apology. Peace.
Kalt, does it sound like Ben Burnly singing? Sure the opening riff is sweet, but once the vocals kicked in i realized its NOT BB. And where in the song do you hear the words I Will Not Bow? Exactly.
come on kalt..no one’s falling for that lol…is that your band or is that some local band out there or what?
wow that was so stupid
I’ll remove it for ya nate.
It’s sounds like that band Blindside to me. Definitely not BB though
Blindside?
Yeah. They’re a pretty good band. The singer in that video sounds like the lead singer of that band
No I mean, that band sounds NOTHING like blindside dude. I’m not sure what you’re hearing.
lol. I said the singer sounds like it, as in his voice sounds like the lead singer of blindside. But not the music though.
alrighty, back to BB
Contrary to what i said EARLIER, Phobia was a pretty epic album. I need to go listen to it again, i have high hopes for this song, and What Lies Beneath.
“come on kalt..no one’s falling for that lol…is that your band or is that some local band out there or what?”
Yeah..I know…but you have to admit it’s come the closest out of all the fakes…up until the vocals kick in.
It’s local-rockers Troy (who have actually opened for BB).
did you do the vid? great job if so.
Haha thanks..yeah it’s mostly just the official trailer with some minor editing.
Hopefully we get the song today! It’s been three years since Phobia to the day!
I like it, it’s like Phobia just lees commercially motivated, yet still catchy.
