Broken Hearted Rounds will perform for students in its second Battle of the Bands appearance. For all the band members, performing together on Friday will be no sweat after working together for nearly two years.

Two years ago Derek Senior, Nat Harward and John Brunt lived in the same apartment and realized their musical talents could be combined.

“I was writing songs, and I saw that John played the guitar and Nat played the drums, and so I said ‘Let’s play together,’” Senior said.

The name, Broken Hearted Rounds, comes from Senior’s dating history of broken hearts; however, it’s also a modified anagram of all the band members’ names, said Harward.
Broken Hearted Rounds has performed with Chris Merritt, a pianist out of Washington, D.C., and John Allred.

Bandmates Senior and Harward describe their sound as a  blend of piano pop rock similar to Something Corporate, Ben Folds, The Rocket Summer and Keane.
