Gardner and his band started off as the worship band of Mars Hill church, but have since left the church. "We know that there's probably a lot of people that will like it and the only way they can find out about it, is if it's put in front of them and having a bigger label to do that is really helpful." "We make what we love," Gardner says, and explains why he partnered with a major company like Tooth & Nail Records. Kings Kaleidoscope is independent, but has teamed up with Tooth & Nail Records' and Bad Christian to push their music. Kings Kaleidoscope is a 10 member band that Gardner heads, and their edgy hip-hop, soulful sound consists of passionate vocals, drums, bass, keys, guitars, and a vast array of orchestral elements including violins, cellos, woodwinds, trombones, trumpets, and vibraphones. "Finally we have done what we've been wanting to do for years," Gardner declared when talking about the release, "We fully got to make it the way we wanted it to be, and we had the grind and the energy to just make what we love, and what we want, and really reflect ourselves in it." The band originated in the controversial Mars Hills Church where they led worship, have released several EPs, and gained recognition - but Becoming Who We Are is their first full-length record.
On the brink of the release of Kings Kaleidoscope's first full-length album, Becoming Who We Are, BREATHEcast caught up with front man Chad Gardner about the incredibly painful, yet character building journey that formed the band's new record.
