Break Point were a studio creation by the infamous label Metal Enterprises. Their first album, "Elephant's" [sic] was released in 1987. It featured Gary Wheeler on lead vocals and Ingo Nowotny on guitars (and probably bass). The drums were provided by a drum machine, probably because these studio bands were so terrible they couldn't even find a drummer. In 1990, their second (and last) album, "Maniacs" was released. Gary Wheeler was replaced by some anonymous singer. To get a basic idea of what he sounds like, imagine one of your favorite songs slowed down by about 25%. The first song on the album, "Maniacs" was lifted directly from the first Godzilla album in a display of laziness. The rest of the songs are mostly generic love ballads, such as "I Wanna Be Your Man" (not a Beatles cover), "Song for Lovers" and "Still Lovin' You". "Emotion" stands out because the singer attempts rapping in a hard rock song. However, this song is still better than any of the "nu-metal" bands of the 90s. Overall, Break Point were a generic hard rock band with nothing to make themselves stand out with.
