It’s not punk at all, but that’s fine.

More Breathe Carolina More Breathe Carolina

Colorado's Breathe Carolina have long disguised a brand of out-and-out as some, admittedly weak, type of screamo punk. They had the sleeve tattoos, the denim vests, the angular haircuts and played the Warped tour; they always seemed like they had punk rock aspirations. On Savages, album number four, they cast off all of these punk rock pretensions to be a fully-fledged electronic pop act. Dirty vox singer Kyle Even has left the band and here it's just dumb party-pop bangers, hardly removed from what you'd hear on a Kesha record. It's not punk at all, but that's fine.
