BREATHER
Their first real gig was as opening act for Deep Purple. Though
the band since then has been considered a "hardrockin´ band"
their first two singles revealed a more poporiented group with a great
sense of melodies. The connection between American rock band such as Foo
Fighters, Lit and Wheatus is natural, and in Sweden, Breather is nr. 1
in what their doing.
The album "One In A Million" released in April 2001 shows a
grown-up popband with a rock´n roll attitude and twelve great songs.
"Everybody can love Breather!" and "Let Breather spread
their energypacked popgospel!" was some of the words from excited
critics.
The story of Breather is t he story of four guys from different worlds,
with different backgrounds, different opinions but with the exact right
vibes for each other and their music. After been introduced by mutual
friends the members of the still to come band Breather got together to
consider the possibilities of making music together. A couple of days
later spent rehearsing they had their first gig at a local pub in Skellefteå,
a small town in the north of Sweden near the Arctic Circle. The band was
hard at work - both in the studio and on stage. Demos were sent to P3
(Swedish National Radio) and the band was nominated by the station as
"best unsigned band" in both -98 and -99. During this time the
band toured frequently, with appearances at both music festivals and various
rock clubs.
Magnus Österwall at BMG Publishing realized the potential of the
band, and Breather signed their first contract in November of -98. Now
followed several hard months of writing, live performances, and studio
recordings with producer Kjell Nästén at Rumble Road Studio
in Skellefteå.
Spring of 2000 Breather signed with "A West Side Fabrication"
(Sahara Hotnights, The Wannadies, This Perfect Day, Fireside etc.), and
the bands first singles "Things I Do" (released June 2000) and
"Wish" (released January 2001) was both frequently aired on
Swedish National Radio. The forthcoming third single "Sunday Monday
Tuesday" , also taken from the album "One In A Million"
will be released 14th of May 2001.
A video will be made for the same single, Breathers first.
