The dance-music-making duo of Kyle Even and David Schmitt--better known as Breathe Carolina--chilled with Buzznet for a bit to bask in the positive response their most recent release Hell Is What You Make It is getting. We also got the scoop on where the song title 'Wooly' came from, some chatter on the music video for 'Blackout' and what they've allegedly done when ACTUALLY blacked out.

BC is currently on the Scream It Like You Mean It tour, which ends on 8/26 in their hometown of Denver, CO.

Check out photos from their performance in Anaheim here.

Breathe Carolina's headlining Scream It Like You Mean It tour kicks off this Friday in Seattle, so we asked
Kyle and David their tour must-haves.

5 must haves:

Cell phone - you may need it if the bus or van leaves you at the gas station.

Charger for your phone, so you can actually use your phone at the gas

station to call your band to come get you!

Movies - because long drives are a lot shorter with entertainment!

iPod or CD's -  music is always a must have, always!

And last but not least - snacks! Any and all kinds!

5 never brings:

Your favorite t-shirt - you'll loose it among the black hole that is the van.

Your grandma - she probably won't approve of your everyday party habits

Your own TV - believe me, it'll break from the chaos (unless it has a case!).

A cougar - just seems like a bad idea...

And lastly - never bring anything of importance, it will break or get lost or you'll give it away because that's just what happens on tour.

Check out some photos from the set of their 'Blackout' music video
