NEEDTOBREATHE
I caught NEEDTOBREATHE Hard Rock Calling 2012 in Hyde Park.
They were in the small tent around the back of the main stage, where I had got bored looking at, but not engaging with, Lady Antebellum (who are, for the record, a very good audio band).
I was plain blown away by the very exciting noise they were making.
The band comprises brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, Seth Bolt and Joe Stilwell
Hailing from Seneca, South Carolina USA, it turns out that NEEDTOBREATHE are a Christian Rock band, but please don't let that put you off.
The song which hooked me was "Oohs and Ahhs" from their album "The Reckoning" - (for which I can't find a working link) which is a show stopper.
That album also has "Devil's Been Talkin'", "Keep Your Eyes Open", and "Drive All Night"
Here's a short (30 minute) documentary from Atlantic, "Prove The Poets Wrong"
Critic New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis lauds NEEDTOBREATHE in The Reckoning as crafting a "ridiculously fantastic album on all levels. You can be sure this is a 5 star masterpiece that will propel NEEDTOBREATHE to major headliner status just like GRAMMY Award winning bands Train, Kings of Leon and Muse."
A new album was released in 2014, "Rivers In the Wasteland".
"The Heart", "Difference Maker", "State I'm In".
This is a really exciting guitar based band who are perpetually on tour at home in the U.S.A.
NEEDTOBREATHE played an acoustic gig at London's Bush Hall in December 2014 and I was lucky enough to get there - it was just as I had imagined - fabulous. <Gig page here>
The band came back to the UK and played a full gig at London's Koko on 27 May 2015 - a very good show < Koko gig photos here >
