Band Biographies: The Breathing Method
Hailing from the rugged West Coast of Scotland, The Breathing Method is a seasoned ensemble of musicians who fuse hard rock, grunge, and a dash of punk rebellion to express the raw knocks of adulthood. With roots stretching back over 25 years this Scottish group hails from the historic county of Ayrshire, where a shared passion for gritty, authentic soundscapes has resulted in the band’s debut album, ‘After Everything Else.'
Recorded at Ellis Music Studios and produced by Jamie Haining, the appeal of ‘After Everything Else’ will resonate with listeners seeking a fix of unapologetic hard-hitting, heavy riffed post-grunge/alternative rock with a solid dose of humanity.
The debut album by The Breathing Method centers on real-life—the ups, downs, and all the confusing bits in between. From mundane routines to moments that knock you off your feet, the songs transform these experiences into their own brand of sonic chaos.
Importantly, the album confronts the realities of being a band in today’s music industry, exploring the challenges of navigating a world where art is often free and social media plays a critical, yet often unwanted, role. Essentially, 'After Everything Else' is The Breathing Method's own dose of 'music therapy' as the band returns to their first love, music.
From the feedback call to action in 'Hope For A Better Day', the album is packed with attitude and melodic skank grunge, showcasing brash ingenuity by the Scottish band. Featuring infectious buzzsaw riffs, rhythms, a stack of melody and beats, the beauty of the songs on 'After Everything Else' lies in their simplicity and emotional, raw-like vocals.
Check out album highlights like the brooding and intense 'Demons', and 'Disappointed', which will resonate with anyone who has worked in a job they hated but felt trapped. Closing off the album, 'Jupiter' emphasizes The Breathing Method’s dark yet uplifting undertones. 'After Everything Else' is a collection of songs that shift, swagger, and often close to hitting nervous truths; ultimately highlighting the human condition through the power of sonic.
“Our music is a mirror to our lives, infused with personal battles against anxiety and depression," says singer Scott Booth. “It’s not cliched to say that the struggles of daily existence and the courage needed to navigate life's darkest corridors are common to so many. The album is a chart of our lives, how we were all involved with music in our formative years but gave it up to pursue careers and families and now this is us coming back to our first love "After Everything Else". It chronicles the struggles that we have all had in life with anxiety and depression, working jobs that you hate, working with unscrupulous people that will sell you out before they are hurt in any way, and the general living of life. This album is a life's work, literally! It is everything that we have faced, all the trials of being an adult that commits to society, and everything that this entails. We hope the new music offers both solace and understanding to listeners,” concludes Booth.
