Breaking Benjamin is my favourite rock-band of 90s. Breaking Benjamin had so many hits! The ones I remember are 'The Diary of Jane', 'Tourniquet' and their hit 'So Cold'. These are real songs, not garbage like today! And it is sooo good that Breaking Benjamin have a tour in 2019! So I'm going to visit their concert this year. The full list is here: <a href=https://breakingbenjaminconcerts.com>https://breakingbenjaminconcerts.com</a>. Check it out and maybe we can even visit one of the performances together!
