brokeNCYDE is a band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. It consists of four members: Seven, Phat J, Mik L, and Antz.

Background
BrokeNCYDE was the brainchild of vocalists Se7en and MikL. According to them, the etymology of the band name comes from the idea of being "broken inside." From there, they began to write more lyrics and songs and promote themselves online. Later, the other two members, under the pseudonyms "Phat J" and "Antz", joined the band.

Publicity
In July, brokeNCYDE earned a spot on MTV's Total Request Live where they performed Freaxxx on the segment "Under the Radar." They signed to Suburban Noize Records soon after. Since signing with Suburban Noize, brokeNCYDE has released the "BC13 - EP", and they currently released it in 2009. Their two previous self-released albums, and one self-released EP, are no longer available for purchase or download. On December 6, 2008 they appeared on Fearless Music TV performing their song "Sex Toyz". They were brought back the next week on December 13 to perform "Freaxxx".

Tours
BrokeNCYDE has toured with bands such as Breathe Carolina, Karate High School , The Morning Of and Let's Get It.

In the summer of 2008, they performed on the GET F$CKED UP US tour with Millionaires as the headliners and Hyper Crush as another supporting act. Special guests And Then There Were None and The Arrival each took half of the tour as well.

They performed on the I'm So Fierce tour with headliner, Jeffree Star, as well as other supporting acts Grab A Girl And Dance, Kill Paradise, Red Car Wire, and Teen Hearts in Fall 2008.

BrokeNCYDE is playing on The Original Gangstour tour with Drop Dead Gorgeous, Eyes Set to Kill, and special guests And Then There Were None. They will also be playing on the Saints and Sinners Tour 2009 with Senses Fail, Hollywood Undead, and Haste The Day.

BrokeNCYDE is scheduled to play the entire Warped Tour 2009.

Criticism
Metal Edge Magazine has called brokeNCYDE "fucking horrendous." British commentator Warren Ellis calls brokeNCYDE's "Freaxxx" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s shit about this point in the culture." Says August Brown of the Los Angeles Times, "The 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."
