 Lets face it, with the lyric writing maturity of pre-pubescent boys and the musical talent of whatever the extent of the new Garage Band program can give them, Breathe Carolina have come onto the “16-year-old-scene-girl” scene with the subtlety of an elephant. A necessary question: “Is ‘Hello Fascination’ as bad as the other bands (BrokenCYDE) in this hopeless genre of screaming and auto tune?” The answer: a resounding NO, but the end result is still pretty terrible.The first song, also the title track, is a foreboding example of things to come. The song starts with some kind of guitar with so many effects that it is nearly unrecognizable. The song moves into a very standard synth and extremely poppy beat that sounds straight out of a Brittany Spears cd. To make matters worse, the song features a breakdown filled with the same unrecognizable guitar and some strange attempt at drums that uses the same crash cymbal the whole 15 seconds It is featured. The second song, “I’m the Type of Person to Take Things Personal” features more of a trance synth feel with echo-ey clean vocals from David and the same, one note, generic scream from Kyle which features the ever-mature line “ You better use your head before we take it off your mother fu**ing shoulders.” The song ends with a trance beat into the next song, “Take Me to Infinity.” “Take Me to Infinity” features that very line at least 4 times per verse, which can certainly grate on a reviewer’s eardrums after hearing the full song several times. Once again the guitar-that-probably-isn’t-guitar is featured in the background, and one of the most bothersome things about this song is that in one part, it actually has Kyle and David talking about what they are going to do after they record for the day, which actually just feels insulting....full text |

| I must’ve been asleep when this takeover happened. The entire “genre” of techno/crunk/scream garbage just broke out overnight it seems. There was no warning, just one day “bands” like Brokencyde, I Set My Friends On Fire, and the like where picking up fans left and right. Not to be outdone is Breathe Carolina, who has unleashed their Fearless debut, Hello Fascination, to unfortunate souls. The only thing that sets the opening title track apart from being a Lady Gaga or Britney Spears song are the mistimed screams and cheesy breakdowns. And then the next 12 songs sound nearly identical and follow the same formula: super poppy electronica beats layered with guitars, background screams, whiny vocals, and the occasional “br00t” breakdown. “I’m The Type of Person To Take It Personal” is just auditory diarrhea, while “Dressed Up To Undress” sounds like Super Mario Bros. on a bad acid trip. “I.D.G.A.F.” (aka “I don’t give a fuck") comes across as a poor man’s Cobra Starship (which is especially concerning considering what Cobra just released as “music”). Sadly, this song exemplifies what’s wrong with listeners these days. They “D.G.A.F” about what they’re ingesting as long as they can dance to it or make out with some scene girl with skunk hair and a Jac Vanek bracelet; regardless of how empty and repetitive it is....full text |

| The latest in joining forces of obnoxious boy racer chav tunes and screamo rap-rock, Breathe Carolina prove that variety isn’t always the spice of life. The first ten seconds of opening track ‘Hello Fascination’ sounds like a VNV Nation remix of Fall Out Boy’s ‘I Don’t Care’ until David Schmitt’s vocals set in and you have a ready made Eurovision contestant (complete with rap-rock screams!) ‘Take Me To Infinity’ has to be a contender for the most unoriginal song ever, making a mid-song toilet break an imperative to allow listening to it in its entirety bearable. ...full text |
