BREATHING LIGHT
1. How did Breathing Light start and was it difficult finding each other?
Breathing Light started because i got tired of going to shows in huntsville, alabama with hipster friendly garage rock an new wave bands. Punk kinda died out after 2007. It was the tail end of an era. The main diy spot, The Flying Monkey stopped having shows an started being renovated. I got my first guitar after graduation in 05 an i was good enough to start writing songs around that time. I wanted to make fast hardcore. I wanted to be in a all black fast punk band, that kinda had a melodic chicago sound, Horace pinker, Bollweevils, naked raygun, articles of faith, along with some goth an soul shit in there. Us kind finding each other was kind of a miracle. By the time i graduated in 2011 we had 3 different line ups. Each person was blessed with the ability to pick up an instrument quickly or possessing church taught abilities along with an affinity for rock music. For me it was essentially “if you build it, they will come” type shit.
