Combining electronic dance beats with raging, hardcore riffs and growls, Breathe Carolina grew from their rock roots into a force of thumping, EDM euphoria and big party soundtracks. Growing up in Denver, Colorado, Kyle Even and David Schmitt both crashed around in rival high school punk bands, but when most of their friends left for college they teamed up and started making music together on the computer programme GarageBand. It led to them experimenting with beats and synths alongside their slamming guitar riffs, and by 2007 the pair were building a big online following with over 30 million plays on MySpace. It's Classy, Not Classic propelled them on to a nationwide tour and their emo-pop, electro anthems became bouncier, resulting in their more carefree second album Hello Fascination going on to break into the top 50 of the US charts. Founding member Even left the group in 2013, but they continued to make good, pumping dance music and released their fourth album Savages through Fearless Records a year later.
