Adeline Records (Green Day, AFI, Broadway Calls) welcomes its newest addition, the UK’s Save Your Breath. Fans of the label’s previous endeavors should fall for Save Your Breath’s brand of ultra melodic pop-punk.

This marks Save Your Breath’s first US release and is for fans of Motion City Soundtrack, New Found Glory, Set Your Goals and The Wonder Years.

Having already toured with The Wonder Years and recorded a split with Fireworks, Save Your Breath is ready to spread its wings across the fertile grounds of North America. Well-versed in hardcore, the band packs a mighty punch and has quickly made a name for itself in UK pop-punk circles. With a sharp tongue and even sharper wit, Save Your Breath hooks you with short, dynamic bursts of melody. Infused with heart and passion, Save Your Breath is a breath of fresh air in a clouded scene.
