South Carolina rock band NEEDTOBREATHE has seen their fair share of ups and downs over the course of their career, but their latest chapter left them on a particularly high note unmatched by any of their previous work. Their blockbuster 2014 album Rivers In the Wasteland landed the band their first-ever Grammy Award nomination, topped Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts, and earned their highest-charting single yet with the RIAA Gold- Certified Top 10 hit “Brother (feat. Gavin DeGraw).” But when it came time to record its follow- up, the Charleston, South Carolina-based band decided to completely alter their creative approach and break into entirely new sonic terrain.
