Breathe Carolina

That was back in 2008.

We had them work with Mike Green, who had worked with All Time Low, A Day to Remember, Breathe Carolina, etc., And together they made an amazing EP and the Favorite Fix album, which should have been massive.

We put the band on the Fearless Friends tour with Mayday Parade, Breathe Carolina, Every Avenue and Go Radio.

It was an incredible tour.

Shortly after, Tarsi, rest in peace, wanted a family and he stepped away from the band.

Yeah.

Breathe Carolina was on right now.

We caught a couple songs from them before coming over here.

303 is on right about this time where we're about to do more press and stuff, so we're going to miss those guys.

And then there would be, like, some singing with a lot of autotune and some, like, and screaming parts over it.

Like, listen to Hello Fascination by Breathe Carolina.

And that album is, like, it is the exact same sort of mix of elements as something like Love Like Winter.

or kill caustic but it's like but not done by afi but it's bad it's really really bad to the point of being unlistenable or like broken side was the other really big one that was doing this i mean so many bands were doing this around that around that time like 2008 2009 and i i think this album inspired a lot of those bands and the willingness of a and the sort of daring nature of this band of afi to be able to say like we want to put our new wave and post-punk and synth driven dance driven influences into this you know that fusion of things it probably did feel very probably felt very fresh to them at the time when they're making this record it i imagine it felt fresh or at least like challenging to a lot of their fans which i think is i mean they always want to do that they have said before we think our fans would be disappointed if we made the same record twice yeah we'll get into that uh you know pin in that for later uh the other thing is i think that the the mall screamo i'm using that it's a very pejorative like way of describing this entire genre of bands that includes like silverstein and People know what you're talking about.

So outside of yourself, who are some of the artists that kinda defined that sound for you now?

Honestly, I mean, artists that I'm, like, really influenced or my album's really influenced off of specifically, like, records was, like, Hello Fascination by Breathe Carolina or Underdog Alma Mater by Forever The Sickest Kids.

Those were two albums that I feel like my producer and I listened to on repeat to kinda try and, like, pull inspo from when creating Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Nice.

Okay, so yeah.

I'll, I'm gonna keep my same answer from before.

I said Hello Fascination by Breathe Carolina because-

Mm-hmm
