Between Distant Lights

Breathing Blue is a 6 piece rock band from Ocean County, NJ. Formed originally as a 5 piece in 2009, the band recorded and released a self-titled EP in the summer of 2010. The band began performing in their local New Jersey scene, winning performance spots at The Bamboozle Festival via The Break Contest (2010 Runner Ups, 2011 Champions), as well as doing weekend "mini-tours" in support. As the summer of 2011 came to a close, guitarist Matt Basilotto and bassist Chris Dechert departed the band for personal reasons, leaving the 3 remaining members (vocalist Justin Sanford, guitarist Rob Bost, and drummer Tyler Moellmann) in need of reinvention. Bost called upon the help of friend Rudy Meier, offering him a role as the band's 2nd guitarist, which he greatly accepted. Another friend, Dennis Moscara, assumed the role of bassist. The band immediately began pre-production for their debut full length, but felt as though something was missing. It was then that Moscara departed the band amicably, and Bost approached Basilotto and Dechert in the hopes that they would be interested in resuming their positions. After a long talk with all parties involved, they accepted and recording resumed. The final product, "Inner Animal", is scheduled for release in early summer 2012 as the bands debut full-length record.
