Groundbreaking is an alternative project created and led by Sean Harper, the current rest of the lineup featuring the likes of David Cox and Gabriel Plannette.

GB has gone through a multitude of different sounds, though mostly revolving around the sounds of electro-industrial, electropop, and alternative rock.

After previous works such as A Fight For Daylight and a solo project, Sean Harper would start Groundbreaking as an electronic project in early 2012. Debuting with First Call, the project would continue to form an identity, eventually coming to streaming services in 2014.

The project gained massive traction and popularity after releasing multiple video game nerdcore songs and remixes, especially centered around the popular indie games Five Nights at Freddy’s and Undertale. This span of popularity lasted between 2014 to 2017, afterwards resulting in a decline in views after Sean’s announcement of no longer centering the project around fan-music.

The 2021 LP Parade marks a thematic conclusion and milestone to the project, introducing a much heavier level of influence from the sounds of alt-metal and emo, alongside inspiration from similar projects such as Poppy and Bring Me The Horizon. The project is expected to release another LP sometime within the future.

Groundbreaking releases are categorized by the time they were released with an ERA. ERA 0 spanning from 2012-2014, ERA 1 2014-2017, ERA 2 2017-2021, and ERA 3 2022-PRESENT.
