Breathe Carolina Interview
*do not suggest the photo*
Interview teaser:
From the stage of the Highline Ballroom in New York, Kyle Even places his fist over his heart and taps gently. With a sincere expression on his face, he mouths the words “Thank you so much,” to the crowd of fans waving their arms in front of him. Kyle has every reason to be grateful. In the two years since his band Breathe Carolina posted its first tune on Myspace, these same fans have taken Kyle out of his basement to Number 9 on the Billboard electronic/dance chart.
Along with his partner, Dave Schmitt, the duo produces a style of music that is virtually unique to Breathe Carolina. Their danceable blend of electronic beats, laced with elements of pop-punk and screamo is well represented on their sophomore LP, Hello Fascination. The record was released in August of 2009 and peaked at number two on Billboard’s electronic/dance chart.
Hello Fascination differs from their first LP, It’s Classy, Not Classic in several ways. “On the first album I did everything in my bedroom,” Dave says. “On this one, it was like me and a producer collaborating on making the beats for the songs.”
With a desire to expand the scope of their music with their second album, Matt and Kevin took advantage of top-notch producers Matt Squire (3OH!3, All Time Low, The Maine) and Mike Green (Paramore, The Matches, The Higher) to produce a more fully fleshed out sound for Hello Fascination. Dave recalls that the pair walked into the studio on the first day of recording with one idea in mind: “We know what our style is, we know what we want to do. Let’s just kinda go crazy.”

Is Kyle the one in the front....He looks so young, I never heard their music but I'm not sure I would enjoy it. I don't like dance music because it has that hip-hoppy sound to it !!!!

They play these guys on a couple of our alt. rock radio stations, but I've only heard a few of their songs. I like them though, definately deserves more of a listen! :D
