I can't seem to find much on this band online. I picked up a copy of their discography disc entitled "The Burner" and later picked this up through the online Merge Records store when purchasing a copy of Polvo's "Celebrate The New Dark Age". Here's their semi-bio from Merge's website:

"Breadwinner, based out of Richmond Virginia, was comprised of: Pen Rollings (guitar), Bobby Donne (bass), and Chris Farmer (drums). Their music is the definition of math rock, a calculated and electrifying mash-up of metal signatures. Merge Records released two 7-inch singles and one full-length CD, "The Burner" (1994) after the band had broken up.

Nice Nice - There Will Be Slogans (2002)

Side B: There Will Be Slogans

Label: White Denim Records

Matrix: White Denim #3

Encoding: 48 kHz / 24 bit, V0 MP3

This record was loaned to me specifically for inclusion to this site. I was not at all familiar with these release until earlier today, the only solid information I found was from the release page over at the Discogs database. This record does appear to be their first release, it was put out in 2002 and was a year before their excellent full length from Temporary Residence entitled "Chrome". This 7" is limited to 530 copies, all of which are pressed on coke-bottle clear vinyl.

This record was in excellent condition and allowed for a very easy/clean transfer. Thanks to Estevez for this brilliant loaner!
