Breathe

Breathe has been played on NTS shows including Torn Hawk, with Hands To Heaven first played on 28 May 2018.

There are at least 7 artists going by the name "Breathe".

1 - a London-based group from the '80s.

2 - a New Zealand-based group from the late '90s.

3 - a Germany-based underground band, formed from members of old-school dark-electro band Placebo Effect and now reborn as The Laughing Dolls.

4 - a Dallas, Texas & Edmond, Oklahoma based electronic music group formed in the late '90s still producing and performing to this day.

1/ According to Songfacts, Breathe hailed from Hampshire, England, where the original five members all grew up and even went to school together at Yateley School. Their first group was larger, six-person band called Catch-22, after the famed novel by Joseph Heller. Theyrimmed down to a quartet to record the album All That Jazz in 1987. This contained their two best-known hits, "How Can I Fall?" and "Hands to Heaven". The latter charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #2 in 1988, and at #4 in the UK. Bassist Micheal Delahunty left the group in 1989 and the remaining three followed "All that Jazz" with the lesser known "Peace of Mind" in early 1990.

Their sound was a combination of light jazz with some pop and soul, somewhat reminiscent of Air Supply or Rick Astley. However, the success was shortlived, and by 1990 they had disbanded.

4 - breathe -- Ridgeback Recordings Dallas, TX U.S.A. breathe is Doug DuVall and Noel "NTRAIN" Keith. They are a forward thinking eletronic music production/DJ team who shares the common interest in producing, playing, and listening to quality music that must have a groove, soul, and depth. They won't pigeon hole themselves in one genre or style of music and have produced some of the following styles but not limited to: house, deep house, funky house, progressive house, breaks, hip-hop, abstract, experimental, and downtempo. Their ability to blend multiple styles of music into one track gives them a definite production edge on the listener. Give them a listen and let them know what you think---good or bad as their music is not for all listeners but production work is always solid. Peace ~ Soul ~ Spirit---breathe

5 - According to Generasia, BREATHE is a Japanese pop-R&B duo managed by LDH agency and signed to rhythm zone label. Both members become finalist of the EXILE Presents Vocal Battle Audition 2 ~Yume wo Motta Wakamonotachi e~ in 2010. After that, producer Matsuo Kiyoshi formed the group. Members: Miyata Satoshi (宮田慧) and Tada Kazuya (多田和也)

6 - breathe. are an Australian minimal soul duo that blends soul and electronic music. They consist of Sean Walker (a founding member of the band Movement) and Andrew Grant. They are currently based in Sydney, Australia and Toronto, Canada. Breathe was formed in Sydney in 2018. The band was founded by Sean Walker, who had founded the Australian "minimal soul" band Movement,[5] and Andrew Grant

7 - Breathe is the alias of São José dos Campos born Brazilian uplifting trance producer Raul Lemos.

8 - Breathe. (Correctly spelt with the period), have been doing something right from the start. Going back to the Mid 90's in the small Canadian city of Burlington, Ontario, the founders of the band Mike Olivieri and Steve Tevyaw formed a group to play their first gig at a high school concert. The gig went well and the group decided to cut their first demo tape. They began selling them at the school and around Burlington and the group began to garner more and more fans. This continued on for two years until their guitarist left. Mike, who loved songwriting continued to do so with Steve and in the summer of 1996, the pair recorded an 8-song demo with Mike singing, and playing both the guitar and bass parts and Steve playing the drums.

It wasn't until then did they realize they had some great material. At that point the two of them began looking for a permanent lineup. Many musicians came and many left, but in February 1999, they finally came across Matt Trotter, a local bass player who filled in the gap. Rehearsals began and Matt started to learn the 60+ song catalog Mike had written over the past 3 years. His first show with the band involved over 3 hours of original material at a local bar, with only 3 days of practice. The fans had found exactly what they wanted. Fan support began to grow exponentially as word of the group began to spread.

By the summer of 2000, breathe. got its first opening gig with Canadian rock legend David Wilcox. The group admits playing that show to a capacity crowd, and tasting success for the first time, made them want it even more. Playing a steady 60-80 shows a year ranging from 30 minute opener to 3 hour endurance gigs gave the band their tightness they are now known so well for. During this time the band recorded a 5 song EP with Juno Award winning engineer Anton Kwiatkowski, known mainly for his work with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The EP was entitled "See What The Day Brings". It sold well locally and kept the band afloat for the next year.

Now the band was debating its next step. Release another EP or record a full length album. The self-titled debut full-length, nicknamed by fans "The White Album", was born. Breathe. was given an offer they could not refuse by an aspiring engineer. The group went right into the studio and recorded over 14 tracks on the first day alone. Unfortunately, the engineering side of the album took a little longer. Over a year later with countless hours spent on postproduction and experimentation in the engineer's 1 bedroom basement apartment, "The White Album" saw daylight. The band had a CD release party and paid to have busloads of avid fans shipped off to The Horseshoe Tavern in downtown Toronto to watch the album be performed. The album was a success and received many great reviews from local critics.

After running a few short self-guided tours in 2002 to the eastern edge of Canada, breathe. began to lay the groundwork for its sophomore release "Ether". They recorded 13 songs and spent less than 3 days in the studio recording and mixing. During this time, they also started to think about a possible move south of the border to enter a realm they had left unexplored.

Not soon after, the band got a phone call from a promoter in California asking them to play an industry showcase in Hollywood at the Hard Rock Café. The band took that as a sign and began trying to make contacts across the southwestern states. Wanting to take new material to the U.S., the band had a close friend master the album and push it through the presses. In April 2003 while in Las Vegas, breathe. received their first box of "Ether". Excited and relieved, the band headed to California.

When they got back to Burlington, they were pleased to find out that the local record store was selling "Ether" so fast they had trouble keeping them in stock. The earlier "White Album" was described by the band as more of a search for sound through sonic experimentation. "Ether" unlike its predecessor, has a more concentrated aggressive rock feel revealing the bands influences ranging from Faith No More and Tool to Korn and Metallica. The introspective lyrics on "Ether" describe the flaws and successes in everyday life and relationships giving listeners a solid foothold into the groups ever present emotional struggle. From the chilling beginnings of "Myths & Legends" to the all out assault on "Swallow This Down" and ending the album with a hidden acoustic version of the emotional "Let's Pretend", "Ether" brings something to the table few other independent recordings can touch.
