“We wanted to make an important record in the way that people used to make records. Bands rarely have the time that allows them to create a game-changing album like Born to Run, Rumours, or Damn The Torpedoes. So we said, ‘Let’s set ourselves up to do that. Let’s believe in the songs enough that we’re willing to take the time they need and really push ourselves. It may sound naïve, but we still have a dream that we’re going to make a record that’s going to change everything for us.”

When NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear and Bo Rinehart set out to write the songs that appear on the band’s new album, The Reckoning, they felt something bigger awaited them. It wasn’t just commercial success either. The band’s last album The Outsiders hit No. 9 on Billboard’s Rock Albums chart, went Top 20 on the Top 200, saw the band sell out venues such as Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and Chicago’s House of Blues, and score an impressive number of placements in blockbuster films and numerous prime time television-shows. Bear explains “There was always this creeping reminder that we needed to show what the last ten years on the road had taught us. If we couldn’t do that, everything we had worked for was meaningless.”

With their reputation as a must-see live act built from non-stop touring, the Rinehart brothers, pastor’s sons who hail from the rural South Carolina town of Possum Kingdom, along with drummer Joe Stillwell and bass player Seth Bolt, were determined to create a statement-making album that truly captured the magic behind this genuinely appealing rock band.

    The Reckoning album is full of amazing songs! I've been listening to Angel At My Door repeatedly for hours. Usually it takes a while to grow into the new songs but Angel At My Door blew my mind within the first 10 seconds of the song; simply AMAZING :) I'm shocked to see it's not in the top 15 :o

    Haha at all the silly people saying the artist name is spelled incorrectly. As far as I'm aware spelling is case-insensitive. "The" and "the" are spelled exactly the same. Here, I'll help you all out: "The correct case is NEEDTOBREATHE. Come on, people. [7]"

    It's not actually a matter of people having it as NEEDTOBREATHE in their media players - it's last.fm which auto-corrects it incorrectly. Using the 'suggest a correction' and typing it in capitals also won't work. Last.fm have changed it twice to capitals for me after asking, but it keeps reverting back. So I give up.
