Breathe Carolina - It's Classy, Not Classic

Breathe Carolina - It's Classy, Not Classic
Record Label: Rise Records
Release Date: September 16, 2008

Lately in the music industry, many bands have sprung up that heavily, and almost exclusively, use electronics in their music. The majority of this music is either very crappy or very generic. Breathe Carolina's music is neither. Formed in 2006, this band quickly gained a fanbase in their home state of Colorado, and eventually, the the country. Before even being signed, the band scored some pretty impressive gigs including a stint at The Bamboozle in East Rutherford, NJ. Last summer they signed to Rise Records, and released their brand of electro-screamo to the world via this debut album.

The album opens with "The Introduction." This is easily the albums slowest piece, and one of the few to use a vocoder. However, the opening synth line is very pretty and when the vocoder-free voice of David Schmitt comes in, the listener falls in love. Though this track is fairly strong, it does get repetitive as the music and lyrics do not change as the song progresses. The ending of "The Introduction" flawlessly segues into the album's second track, "No Vacancy." This track opens up with an uber-catchy dance beat and is quick in introducing the screams of Kyle Evans. The song quickly gets repetitive though, as the vocals and musical dynamic remains the same, and the song ends with the listener wondering why more screams weren't incorporated into a track that had enough potential to be one of the album's best songs.

Track three, "Show Me Yours," starts off quite mundanely, and looks to follow the same follies that the albums earlier tracks suffered. However, the meandering first verse is saved by the amazing way in which the screams and croons play off each other. The slight slowdown in the middle is a high point of the album, giving screamer Kyle Evans the chance to (finally) showcase his yelps and screams for what they are, and the continuation of the song's dance beat sounds refreshed once it ends.

The next three tracks are among the album's finest. "The Birds and The Bees" is the first track on the album that isn't entirely new, as its been on their myspace page since before they were signed. This song opens with a pulsing dance beat and an eerie repetition of the words "I hope you know I swear to god, I hope you know that this wont stop." When the song explodes into an amazing, jaw dropping chorus, the listener NEEDS to dance along. Overall, the diversity this song shows in the course of minutes makes it one of the best songs on the album. "Classified" slows down a bit, and beautifully showcases the vocals of Schmitt and, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that Kyle Evans SINGING?! "Gossip" is the album's best song, with an eerie intro that explodes into a catchy, danceable chorus that easily makes this song the best in the electro-emo (or whatever its called) genre, showcasing what is best about Breathe Carolina in three-and-a-half minutes. Everything from the lyrics to the music to the way the screams and sings bounce off each other is just pure bliss.

The bands succumbs to bit of mundanity in "That's Classy," but "Diamonds" saves it with its beat and beautiful, soaring vocals. "You Wish (Interlude)" is a track that is without vocals, and sounds more like something from Tiesto than anything else. "Lovely" features some very textured music and vocals, including a soft croon, a harsh scream, and everything in between. Kyle Evans' screams shine the most in album closer "Put Some Clothes On," which definitely leaves the listener with a good impression of the band. The chorus soars, and it is, after "Gossip," the album's best track.

This album is definitely a strong, diverse, debut in a genre that features artists that so easily fall prey to the same exact sound. Though the lyrics could be better, they are very fitting for what is overall a record that sounds like it could be played in a NYC nightclub. The future is bright for Breathe Carolina, and the only way they can go is up.

That's better.

[Analog Rebellion]

who submitted this review? haha
Someone that loves Breathe Carolina and thinks they're "neither generic or crappy".

[ship of fools]

RIYL The Medic Droid. Thanks for the lulz.

[thursday8605]

this is so good. i love the way they are covered in chocolate sauce on their myspace page. this is absolute garbage.

[Analog Rebellion]

That's better.
That sounds more correct.

[Analog Rebellion]

this is so good. i love the way they are covered in chocolate sauce on their myspace page. this is absolute garbage.
"This is so good" and "This is absolute garbage".

Care you clear that up?? Haha :-)

[RealTalk]

seriously some of THE nicest guys on the planet. they're live show is actually entertaining.

they're having fun with what they do and they don't take themselves that seriously...i don't really see how you could.

either way, musically..it's blah.

[YouSmellExcited]

you tell em Dan! lets just hope they don't call you out just to make a name for themselves. this shit sucks

[Danny Schme]

This is a trash group.

[npmshah]

That sounds more correct.
huh?
*hopes begin to crumble*
haha just kidding
im honored to have you post on anything ive written
even if its not so... erm... flattering
i am a HUUUGE fan of Playradioplay...
was actually thinking of reviewing it next...
but after reading your comments
i feel compelled to ask if you would mind if i did?

[Analog Rebellion]

you tell em Dan! lets just hope they don't call you out just to make a name for themselves. this shit sucks
I think the music is unbearably awful, but I respect people's right to have a positive opinion on it.

This review just seemed too positive.

Of course I wouldn't mind :-)

The article was written pretty well, I just disagree with it completely. But, that's the beauty of opinions.

[npmshah]

I like this album and love the guys.. but I would have to disagree with you recommending this to fans of The Morning Of and Every Avenue, although we were all on the same tour.. the music is very different.
WE?
are in one of the bands that went on the tour (either TMO, Every Avenue, BrokeNCYDE, Breathe Carolina, or Here And Now)

[Until The Bombs]

Ha.

Thank You...
so im honored that you gave me constructive criticism, and i can understand opinions
and i understand that i downplayed some of the weaker aspects of the album
because, though they were numerous, AP.net's review guidelines said to focus on the positive
definetely check out the review once i write it

That's strange. I didn't know it told reviewers to stay mostly positive (I've never written a review). That seems like it goes against the entire idea of writing reviews.

I'm a very critical person. All of my favorite albums have whole lists of things that I don't like. Tones, sounds, production choices, etc.

haha yea it does...
i read through the entire guideline before i wrote this
and a major point was
'The reviews arent to trash a band, they are to inform the public on whether or not they would like it"
buti would definetely be interested to see what music you would review, Dan...

[batmannj]

i dont like the band, but the review was at least not too drastic. and the scores were fair. nice review.

Being nice has NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with the music....

Ive know about this 'band' (BEING NICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC) since they were wee little unsigned kids playing at the smallest, but the best, venue in Denver. Needless to say, I hate their music. Its trash yadda yadda yadda.

This trend has got to stop, though. If more bands like this keep springing up and getting big (3oh!3, brokencyde, millionares breathe carolina) off innocent, unsuspecting middle schoolers, music will feel the hurt. They take away from bands that are actually decent and that everyone (including those middleschoolers) could love if they had common sense.

[npmshah]

[fly_guy]

But about the review: it was well written and showed knowledge of the band (birds and the bees is a pretty old song). Overall, it was pretty good

i can respect your opinion
even though enjoy some of the stuff out of 3OH!3 and brokeNCYDE...
(millionaires are inexcusably bad...)
i definetely see how their stuff is like a degeneration in music
over half of brokeNCYDE is crap (the other half of the songs i enjoy though)
and 3OH!3 only manage to pull off their sound on maybe half of "Want" (first album: not at all)
and if this is being called "alternative," whats next?

[npmshah]

[PengusNiugnep]

I like (what I've heard of) this album. Good review.

I've considered writing reviews a few times about artists that I have a pretty extensive knowledge of (Secret Machines, Grandaddy, Pinback, Annuals, etc), but I've never really found the time to do it.

While I hate this kind of music as much as you do, the demographic of kids that are latching onto it are often the same type of kids that were into boy bands back during the boy band craze. They're not discerning music listeners, so I'm not sure if they're putting too big of a dent in the careers of more respectable bands.

[MusicTalks]

I heard that this band is shit and based on the posts, seems to be a resounding "Fuck Yes."

[circatbs]

nice review Neeps. :-)

[BruisedxBroken]

I usually love scene pop, but this band is horrible. Metro Station and Cash Cash are way better...

[piglet]

Band should be raped by wolves.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Band is laughable.

[altemose09]

oh god are you kidding me

[rollerman4221]

I dig this band

haha these are probably the kids who are going to see some of the bands that these bands tour with
and then latch onto then once they grow out of this music
and so since BrokeNCYDE is touring with Hollywood Undead, and Drop Dead Gorgeous soon
and breathe Carolina have toured with Every Avenue/The Morning Of etc...
and the other fans are probably not going to rmember this band once they (inevitably) break up
example: odds are ill look back on the fact that i listen to BrokeNCYDE in three years and be like WTF? lol

[I Am The Enemy!]

Actually, this is a good review, and I enjoy the album.

However, you wrote so highly of it but gave the album an overall score of 67% ..... I guess I don't understand there.

But well written review!!

[bonefacekillah]

this "band" always seems to be covered in something in all their pictures.

[goldengirlsk]

I like this album and love the guys.. but I would have to disagree with you recommending this to fans of The Morning Of and Every Avenue, although we were all on the same tour.. the music is very different.
i completly agree.

..i really like this band,,, i hate Brokencyde and Metro Station's music/ sound/ lack of talent with a passion, but i really like breathe carolina's
.. they're really nice guys and its honestly the only electro band i like

[npmshah]

But well written review!!
the reason i gave the album that number is because
on a technical level the album wasnt so great
but it really clicked with me
i tried to give it a higher reviewer tilt rating...
i did point out some of the albums weaker aspects of course
but overall i tried to stress the positives since i really o enjoy their music

[TotalCollapse]

This genre really annoys me. The electronica pop like 3Oh!3 and Cobra Starship.

[demora]

i saw this band live a few months ago and thought they were joking/trying to be funny when they walked out on stage. but they kept it up very seriously for a half hour.
:-0

[Beej 347]

still better than brokencyde!

and i love this album.

[Analog Rebellion]

still better than brokencyde!

and i love this album.
That's like saying drowning is better than dying in a fire.

[Javs]

Breathe carolina is disgustingly shitty.
It amazes me how people can honestly run around saying "THEY'RE SO UNIQUE THEY INCORPORATE SCREAMS INTo TECHno OMG"

Thats the fucking worse combination on the planet.

I'd rather listen to millionaires over breathe carolina anyday.
At least millionaires have a good producer, he's just an idiot for producing for every shitty myspace band on the planet. (Millionaires, Watchout! Theres Ghosts)

[Javs]

This genre really annoys me. The electronica pop like 3Oh!3 and Cobra Starship.
Okay, Cobra Starship isn't a good band but I dont think they can be put in the same sentence as 3OH3.

i can respect your opinion i guess
they definetely are not original
but the fact still remains they have more creativity/maturity than other bands (ie 3OH!3 and BrokeNCYDE)

Actually I would think even 3OH3 has more creativity than Breathe Carolina does. Breathe Carolina uses the same synths for almost every song.

[TotalCollapse]

Okay, Cobra Starship isn't a good band but I dont think they can be put in the same sentence as 3OH3.
I think they are very similar. Same genre. Same annoyingness.

[Beej 347]

That's like saying drowning is better than dying in a fire.
it is.

[iamnuwave]

first off. I love Breathe Carolina, and I'm a DJ that does house parties and little dance events. And when i found them I used I LOOVEEE spinning Breathe Carolina into sets especially Gossip and The Birds and the Bees, it's sooo different and people would always ask who they were. But right now, i've moved on into actual true electro/french house etc As in Justice, So Me, blah blah basically DJs.

First IMO, after listening to them and moving onto what i listen and spin now, here's are some things i've noticed

a. in my opinion, when i first listened to BC, they were original in what they were doing, i was blown away. Their live show is pretty great as well, (in my opinion). But what they have unfortunately done is cause A HELL BUTT LOAD, of other people to start....electro bands, and that makes me wince and others wince and they get caught up in that. But you guys you have to realize they didn't start this to be famous, they put up 'Put Some Clothes On' for fun. Right now, alot of crappy copies are trying and failing at pursuing to cash in on it. IMO, i used to love MetroStation a few months ago, now looking at them now vs what i know i like to listen to now, they suck....made for radio.

b. i think they should try and go a route that is more for DJs and producers. For example, they should have a backing DJ and just them singing and screaming. Thats just me. And that's how they should have started, with a DJ set with them MCing (singing, screaming), that would have been interesting. Cause right now, they're being stuck with just real bands if that makes sense. But maybe in the future.

PS. and to Dan from PlayRadioPlay...i don't understand. (My friend showed me your page awhile ago, but i'm more of a dance/electro/in your face guy) I've also seen you live, not my cup of tea, i was more into Ultraviolet Sound. You use electronica, but basically bashing on another electronica band. I'm honestly not into your music, but i would think you would find something at least in the bit original in what they do since your music original in it's right.

wow...
thank you for taking the time to write a comment like that
personally i disagree with your DJ idea
the fact that they use a keytar is defientely (for me at least) a huge attraction to the live show
i love Metro Station, but i can see where the hate for them comes from

[I Am The Enemy!]

Not a noob. I had another account on this, but the name incorporated Panic At The Disco. Very long time ago. No longer interested in Panic At The Disco.

[Broden Terry]

You wanted honesty Neeps?
I absolutely loved the review. It was informative and well written. I loved how it had a number of positives about the band and their music. But I'm really not a fan of this band and at times it seemed like the review was a little too positive?

This was a great first review though. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it :-)
What do you plan on reviewing next, because I'm really looking forward it?

[cory-182]

I couldn't stop listening to this album while I was down in Cancun. I loved it when it first came out, but I didn't expect me to return to it months later.

Can't wait to see these guys at Warped.

[cory-182]

I had to read this just to see someone rip them apart.

You fucking disappointed me.
Oh look...a kid with an anti-JCook avatar wants people to bash Breathe Carolina.

Can't do it by yourself? Go back and mingle the majority of the BN/FOB fans on this site.

[BruisedxBroken]

Not a noob. I had another account on this, but the name incorporated Panic At The Disco. Very long time ago. No longer interested in Panic At The Disco.

I don't want people to bash them. I just assume that everyone else is already bashing them.

No, you don't understand. This was my mindset coming into this review:

"A Breathe Carolina review? Oh god, this has got to be good."

And by "got to be good", I meant that I thought they were going to completely take a dump on them.

When I saw that this was not so, I decided to display my disappointment.

[Analog Rebellion]

Okay, Cobra Starship isn't a good band but I dont think they can be put in the same sentence as 3OH3.
So you just spent a whole, long post bashing bad electronic bands up there, but you like 3Oh3?

PS. and to Dan from PlayRadioPlay...i don't understand.

No, I don't find anything original in it. Actually, it's awfulness is pretty unique, but that's about it. I don't like most electronic music.

Oh look...a kid with an anti-JCook avatar wants people to bash Breathe Carolina.

Can't do it by yourself? Go back and mingle the majority of the BN/FOB fans on this site.
Uhhh, what's your point? He dislikes Breathe Carolina and FTSK. Both respectable positions, from where I stand.

[Analog Rebellion]

No, you don't understand. This was my mindset coming into this review:

And by "got to be good", I meant that I thought they were going to completely take a dump on them.

That was the same thing I half-hoped for when I came in here. At the same time, I figured anyone taking time out of their day to write a review about Breathe Carolina probably likes them.

[discoyears]

the BC dudes are some of the best guys I have ever met, awesome

[npmshah]

Of course. I'm hoping to make it out to two this summer. One on a Thursday in Milwaukee and then the Chicago/Tinley Park show a few days later on Saturday.

BC's and ADTR's 30 minute sets won't be enough to quench my 8 months of excitement.

Umm... Okay...

[Joey (J-Train)]

I would rate this album more than 79% this album was almost perfect and a gem among todays scene of complete generic and uncreative garbage of bands like brokencyde or millionares.
this album doesn't fall into mundanity, for i hear something new in each song and each song sounds different than the other.

[Joey (J-Train)]

it's funny how dan bashes breathe carolina when his shit is straight up disney pop a la metro station and miley cyrus. i'm a pirate, you're a princess??? oh god

i totally agree that this band is a gem in the scene today
i love it alot
but i looked at this album from an objective point of view
and saw that some songs did indeed drag on or share one or two too many elements
however, i do love this record and totally agree

and the only way they can go is up.
i know because it was so shitty and horrible right?

[treenbean]

Kyle's last name is Even not Evans, just thought you should know.

[herecomesricki]

Actually I would think even 3OH3 has more creativity than Breathe Carolina does. Breathe Carolina uses the same synths for almost every song.


that's only cause they had to use garageband for their older stuff. so it's not like they had much to choose from. but you gotta give them credit. i mean i know i could never make music that catchy and amazing on garageband even if my life depended on it!

[chelseaxsmilexD]

I think the music is unbearably awful, but I respect people's right to have a positive opinion on it.

This review just seemed too positive.


Of course I wouldn't mind :-)

The article was written pretty well, I just disagree with it completely. But, that's the beauty of opinions.
no offense, but i never knew about playradioplay.... i always wondered why your posts looked so different than mine, but I get it now...*slap to the face*

anyway... i'm checking you guys out on wiki.... maybe you could tell me what you're like, because when i saw Sky Eats Airplane's page it listed the primary genre as deathcore..... so i don't trust wiki users so much anymore.... especially when they listed heavyheavylowlow's primary genre as salsa... ic hanged those two immediately.

[chelseaxsmilexD]

because they use Apple GarageBand.

no offense, but when a band makes a full album using fills from GarageBand (as they've admitted to doing and research proves it.) how can you give their instrumentation a 75%?

[npmshah]

because this band doesnt really use GarageBand fills. They program most of their stuff, and it is pretty impressive programming for so young a band

[npmshah]

thanks. typo on my part :hitself:

[npmshah]

wow.
all i'm going to say.
the scene i reference is the electronica scene, filled with crap like BrokeNCYDE and Millionaires

first article: recording using GarageBand does not mean using GarageBand's loops. They can program stuff use synths and other equipment, and then record them with GarageBand. Apple created GarageBand so that musicians can plug in instruments and record on it directly

second article: see comments for first article

third link: just because they redid it doesnt mean they used GarageBand loops

[chelseaxsmilexD]

ohhh, i'm not a techno loop techy person... if u know what i mean. i thought g.b. was just a looping program that no talent bands used... see millionaires

[chelseaxsmilexD]

Ugh...I hope I never become a BrokeNCYDE fan.

Madina Lake is doing the entire Warped and its also been confirmed that TDWP, Breathe Carolina, BrokeNCYDE, and The White Tie Affair will all be doing the entire thing as well. SKSK are playing 6/26-7/26..not sure which date you plan on attending.
the day that i can go is the day after underoath's last day i think. tinley park.

[npmshah]

nooo. haha GarageBand is a recording software that comes bundled with every Mac

i dont like the band, but the review was at least not too drastic. and the scores were fair. nice review.
I've only heard "Classified." I wish it did more than what it did. But it's a really good good-bye song.

[dustinhayes702]

first, i flamed chelsea in a diff thread, ima flame here again as this person just tried to flame someone without any knowledge of what they are talking about.



Second off, I think breathe carolina isn't that good, but their new song "Welcome to Savannah" is pretty good, it's MAD catchy. You can say what you want about this genre, but bands like brokencyde are absolute shit to me, 3oh3 is terrible to me, at least breathe carolina put more thought into their music.



and to playradioplay, i kinda like your music, but your stuff is pretty boring, compared to breathe carolina, and some of your lyrics dont work well, idk how to explain it really its comparable to owl city, although owl city has more interesting music to me.


Its amazing how people are with music it seems there is 3 groups in these forums


Those people who think they are cooler then everyone else and gotta listen to music that is as different from anything else as possible


people who listen to what is referred to as "fads" or the popular music(not underground) and get shitted on by group 1

then there is people such as myself who listen to everything, don't disrespect ones musical taste, and isn't biased??




seriously some people love cannibal corpse, and a lot of people would classify that as garbage music. They wouldnt even call it music, but to some people its what they wanna listen to.


if one of your fans(playradioplay) likes brokencyde and likes your music, are you gonna trash them? Thats just moronic.


Please proceed to talk tons of shit about me, I like Old metallica, cute is what aim for, at the gates, exodus, iwrestledabearonce, All Time Low, Owl City, Set Your Goals, Escape The Fate, The Devil Wears Prada, Tool, Suicidal Tendencies, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, The beatles


just to name a few. So talk shit please

i just came across this review randomly
but there are many things wrong with your review aside the fact that you gave the band way too much credit

for one, they started in 2007, not '06
Kyle's last name is not Evans, it's Even
the whole album has use of a vocoder, not just 'The Introduction'
your RIYL is all wrong minus The Medic Droid
it's not diverse at all, same thing in every song

and 69% is too high

[denissuxx]

lol @ wikipedia trying to focus on postives and citing this article.

i meant they appealed to fans of those bands... (i saw BC on tour with EA and TMO)
and sorry for the mistakes. my bad

I love how they ignored 500 negative reviews, and focused on a non-professional one.

haha the reviews for this album werent that negative, IMO, but i don't understand why they used mine of all reviews. Probably because of AbsolutePunk's growing reputation

AP.net is always a popular site of reference on wikipedia. However, they shouldn't reference user reviews - just staff - it defeats the purpose of 'professional reviews'. That's just my opinion though.

I haven't done an extensive search on the internet or whatever, but there is no way this album received 'positive' reviews all round. No way.

Fair enough.

[The Meech]

I honestly enjoy alot of this album. Granted, their newer stuff is pretty awful, but I dunno, I just enjoyed this. Especially "That's Classy."
