Toronto’s No Breaks Jake returns with “Trouble,” a warm, intimate alt/indie rock track that captures the silent complexities of human experience. Unlike the band’s heavier, more chaotic work, this song allows space for openness, reflection, and emotional clarity. It’s a song about perseverance and the intersection of courage and vulnerability, a reminder that even when life is at its most overwhelming, resolve can pull you forward.

“Compared to my other work, there’s a little less rage and a little more humanity,” explains frontman Jacob Kassay. “It’s not as loud or as angry – instead it gets to be more warm, more open, more willing to let you in and show what’s hurting.”

“Trouble,” the second track of No Breaks Jake’s upcoming Amygdalan EP, was crafted with careful attention to warmth and accessibility. Subdued vocals, cleaner guitar tones, and gradual layering of instruments build toward moments of cathartic intensity. “The bridge, in particular, is my favourite part of the song,” Kassay explains. “There’s this feeling where everything inverts and the song sort of wraps its arms around you.”

The track demonstrates No Breaks Jake’s distinctive ability to combine raw energy with emotional insight. From the opening line, What about it? I feel like I’m in over my head, the song evokes the fragile yet determined spirit at the heart of the band’s music. “It makes me feel warm,” Kassay reflects. “I feel like I know this person, like I’ve been this person. The weird thing is… I’m not sure if I want to follow their example or tell them I’m here if they need help. It’s just a perfect point of openness in seeing someone for who they are: their triumphs, their flaws, and their, well… troubles.”

I close my eyes to see you clearly

Pull you closer, keep you near me

With its blend of frenzied energy, wistful lyricism, and catchy hooks, “Trouble” solidifies No Breaks Jake as one of Toronto’s most compelling alt-rock voices. The band continues to deliver music that is as introspective as it is electrifying, proving that heaviness and humanity can coexist in every riff and lyric.
