NEEDTOBREATHE (no, it's not a misspelling, that's what they go by) is an American [[Main/RockAndRoll Rock]] band who's placed on [[Main/RockAndRoll Rock]] and Main/{{Pop}} charts, though they're more commonly known for their [[Main/ChristianRock Christian Music]].

In 2006, NEEDTOBREATHE released their first album, ''Daylight'' in the [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom UK]]. They began to [[GrowingTheBeard grow their beard]] in 2007, with the release of their second album, until they became most well-known for their third album, ''The Outsiders''. Since then, they have made numerous appearances, opening for people like Music/TaylorSwift, and their songs being used for TV commercials and movie trailers. The group has also won multiple awards for their contemporary music.
