Originally,Kyle played in a band in high school called Rivendale with Adam Gallegos, Chris Heaton, Justin Price, and Nate Millie. David played in a band called As the Flood Water Rose. Both bands played together often. As the Flood Water’s Rose opened up for Rivendale at Rivendale’s cd release at Grandpa’s Music Box in Thornton. However as everyone went separate ways for college, Kyle and David started up Breathe Carolina. Breathe Carolina recorded their first album with GarageBand, and signed with Rise Records before its release. The album introduced a few new songs that were not featured on their Gossip EP, including “The Introduction”, “No Vacancy”, “Show Me Yours”, “Classified”, “That’s Classy”, and “You Wish”. “Don’t Forget: Lock The Door” was the only track from Gossip EP that is not featured on the LP. The album was released on September 16, 2008, and was followed by a tour to promote the album. Breathe Carolina headlined their tour with Every Avenue, Brokencyde, and The Morning Of. While on “The Delicious Tour,” they announced that they would be making a music video for “Diamonds”. The video has appearances made by Millionaires, as well as Josh White from Umbrella Clothing and This City Is Burning Records. The band has stated that they would not do any more videos for any song from this album. A year later, few months after the release of Punk Goes Pop 2, shortly after they finished the 2009 “Take Action Tour”, Breathe Carolina announced that they had left Rise Records and have signed with Fearless Records and would be in the studio recording their upcoming album Hello Fascination with Mike Green. On June 29, 2009, the first song from Hello Fascination was released: “Welcome To Savannah”, which was a featured song on the Fearless Records Summer Sampler 2009.[6] New songs were also played during Vans Warped Tour 2009. These songs include “I.D.G.A.F.” and “Hello Fascination”. On July 27, 2009, the second song from Hello Fascination was released, the title track of the album. Hello Fascination was released on August 18, 2009. In September 2009, the band announced they will be headlining the EZ Bronz Tour.[7] Also in 2009, Breathe Carolina was featured on the cover of Substream Music Press, which also features an interview with Even and Schmitt.[8] Toward the end of October 2009, Hello Fascination was released in Japan. The Japanese edition of the album holds a bonus song entitled “Have You Ever Danced?”.
