Breathe Carolina
Jul 11, 2011
When Dave Schmitt and Kyle Even formed Breathe Carolina in 2007, they didn't anticipate that their "just for fun" project would explode into an internationally sought-after band within just a couple of years.
The story of Breathe Carolina is a modern day music fairytale, about two friends who recorded tracks on Mac program GarageBand at home in Denver, CO, put them on to MySpace and rapidly gained a huge online following. Their hobby transformed into a career, and launched the duo into stardom.
The band's self-released debut EP Gossip hit iTunes in 2007, and after a phenomenal response, they released their debut album It's Classy, Not Classic in '08. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #186. Their genre-clashing blend of crowd-pleasing pop, rock and electronica was a hit, and no longer confined to the bedroom - Breathe Carolina were a global force ready to be heard. After signing with Fearless Records in '09, their album Hello Fascination took their music to a bigger, brighter and more blistering dimension. Recorded with the stellar production team of Mike Green and Matt Squire, their sound became re-defined with the addition of live instruments and hooky pop choruses.
Breathe Carolina have their eyes on superstardom with the release of new album Hell Is What You Make It on July 12. Kicking off 2011 with a performance at Winter X Games, Breathe Carolina stormed into their biggest year yet, with an appearance at Soundwave festival in Australia, a performance at Bamboozle Festival, and a South American run. The band headlines the Rockstar Energy Drink Scream It Like You Mean It tour this July/August.
