Original members Kyle Even and David Schmitt started the project in 2007, they didn't anticipate that their “just for fun” intent would explode into an internationally sought-after duo 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, Colorado, put them on to MySpace and rapidly gained a huge online following.
The duo'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 2008. 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 2009, their album Hello Fascination took their music to a bigger, brighter and more blistering dimension. Recorded with the stellar production team of Mike Green (Paramore, The Higher, Set Your Goals) and Matt Squire (Taking Back Sunday, 3OH!3, Panic At The Disco), their sound became re-defined with the addition of live instruments and hooky pop choruses. The album debuted at #43 on the Billboard Top 200, at #5 on the Independent Chart and #2 on the Electronic Chart. The title track “Hello Fascination” was featured on MTV’s The City and received placement on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. It even became the featured track on NBC’s The Jay Leno Show promos.
The duo followed up their second UK headline tour of the year with a whole summer on Vans Warped Tour 2010, followed by a direct support slot to Mayday Parade on the Fearless Friends Tour in Fall 2010.
2011 has been quite the year for the band, as "Blackout"'s steady ascension up the Top 40 single chart, embraced by fans across the nation as their new party anthem, has made them one of the only independent acts taking on the pop goliaths at Top 40. 'Hell Is What You Make It' debuted at #2 on the Billboard Electronic Chart, with The NY Times calling the album "one of the best pure pop albums of the year". A performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, main playlist rotation across all MTV networks for video "Blackout" and an Artist Of The Week slot on MTV's PUSH program fueled the genre-blending duo's success story.
Starting out in a bedroom in the suburbs of the Mile High City, Breathe Carolina was one of the first bands to start making waves via social networks. They truly came into their own on Fearless Records-released sophomore full-length Hello Fascination. A step to a brave next level, the album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #43, and went on to sell over 60,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Their juxtaposition of hardcore guts and pop glory found a happy niche between both rock and pop fans, the album's title track landing placements on the promos for NBC's Jay Leno Show, 30 Rock and Monday Night Football, MTV's The Hills and The City.
With national radio dates with fellow Top 40 acts including Flo-Rida, Selena Gomez, Kreayshawn, Hot Chelle Rae, Cobra Starship and The Fray sees the band ending 2011 on an all time high.

Breathe Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody passed out on the floor,
Last thing I remember,
Was the girl next door,
Somebody call my phone,
So I can figure out the shit I've done,
Still drunk, so what?
Why stop when the morning comes?
Last night we were dancing on the table,
Swinging from the chandelier singing hey oh,
Last night they had to shut the whole place down,
So we took it to the boulevard,
If I could remember,
Last night,
Wish I could remember,
The time of my life, alright,
I can't wait for the night to be,
Like last night
Last night was the prequel,
But tonight is the sequel,
Getting hot off the lights,
This is life,
This is what I do,
I'm feeling deja vu,
Strangers telling me that I love you,
Fuck it, I don't know why,
But I love you too,
Last night we were dancing on the table,
Swinging from the chandelier singing hey oh,
Last night they had to shut the whole place down,
So we took it to the boulevard,
If I could remember,
Last night,
Wish I could remember,
The time of my life, alright,
I can't wait for the night to be,
Like last night
Say what you want, say what you want,
Fuck what you say cause we having fun,
Every where we go you already know, know,
And I won't stop about anything,
Run your mouth if you want 'cause we don't care what you say,
We don't care what you say
Last night we were dancing on the table,
Swinging from the chandelier singing hey oh,
Last night they had to shut the whole place down,
So we took it to the boulevard,
If I could remember,
Last night,
Wish I could remember,
The time of my life, alright,
I can't wait for the night to be,
Like last night
The song Last Night by Breathe Carolina describes the aftermath of a crazy night out. The singer wakes up outside with his friends passed out on the floor. He can't remember everything he did the previous night, but he does recall the girl next door. He wishes someone would call his phone, so he can figure out what he did. He's still drunk and sees no reason to stop because the morning has arrived.
The events of the previous night are recounted in the chorus. The group was dancing on the table and swinging from the chandelier while singing "Hey, oh." The party was so wild that the whole place had to be shut down, and they had to take it to the boulevard. The singer wishes he could remember the previous night because it was the time of his life, and he can't wait for the next night to be the same.
In the second verse, the singer describes the current night as the sequel to the previous night's prequel. He's feeling déjà vu and is surrounded by strangers telling him that they love him, which he reciprocates. The chorus repeats, with the singer stating that they don't care what others say about their wild nights out.
Overall, the song portrays the thrill and excitement of living in the moment and having a good time, despite the consequences that follow. It highlights the appeal of indulging in the temporary joy of life's pleasures.

I'm waking up outside,
I find myself regaining consciousness outside
Everybody passed out on the floor,
Everyone else is unconscious on the ground
Last thing I remember,
My memory of the previous night ends here
Was the girl next door,
I recall encountering a female neighbor
Somebody call my phone,
I need someone to ring my mobile device
So I can figure out the shit I've done,
This would enable me to piece together my actions
Still drunk, so what?
My inebriated state remains, but it doesn't matter
Why stop when the morning comes?
I see no reason to cease my behavior when the day begins
Last night we were dancing on the table,
In the previous evening, we were dancing atop furniture
Swinging from the chandelier singing hey oh,
We were also swinging from a light fixture while vocalizing
Last night they had to shut the whole place down,
The establishment had to close due to our antics
So we took it to the boulevard,
We relocated to a street outside instead
If I could remember,
I wish I could recall more of the events
Wish I could remember,
I truly desire recollection
The time of my life, alright,
It was the pinnacle experience
I can't wait for the night to be,
I eagerly anticipate the upcoming evening
Like last night
In the same vein as the previous night
Last night was the prequel,
The preceding evening was the introductory event
But tonight is the sequel,
Tonight's the follow-up
Getting hot off the lights,
The intense environment is fueling our fervor
This is life,
Living like this is what we do
I'm feeling deja vu,
It's as if I've experienced this situation before
Strangers telling me that I love you,
Unfamiliar people are informing me that I'm in love with them
Fuck it, I don't know why,
I don't understand why, but I don't care
But I love you too,
I also have genuine feelings of love for them
Say what you want, say what you want,
Feel free to speak your mind
Fuck what you say cause we having fun,
I don't care about your opinion because we're having a good time
Every where we go you already know, know,
Wherever we travel, you're already aware of our reputation
And I won't stop about anything,
I refuse to abandon my lifestyle
Run your mouth if you want 'cause we don't care what you say,
You're free to speak ill of us because we're indifferent to your words
We don't care what you say
Your opinions are irrelevant
