Bleed - Somebody's Closer

ON LIMITED DEEP PURPLE W/ BABY BLUE SPLATTER VINYL!!! The up-and-coming Dallas, Texas based four-piece Bleed digitally self-released their debut EP Somebody's Closer in 2021. With no label backing and only a handful of shows (thus far) the four track introduction left a huge impression on nearly all that happened upon it, racking up tens of thousands of streams simply by word of mouth. With seemingly effortless self-assurance Bleed's music harkens back to a period of time when the '90s were going from mid- to late and grunge and more mainstream metal were converging in a flurry of credibly hard-hitting, melodic heaviness that played equally well on college and mainstream rock radio. Bleed's songs hit with a visceral heavy impact and infectious alt-rock hooks, then are given further shape by singer Ryan Hughes, whose airy vocals glide fluidly overhead. As the band continue the work of crafting their full length album, to be eventually released by 20 Buck Spin, the label will first finally issue Somebody's Closer in physical form. In the meantime the EP is streaming in full via all platforms and demanding repeat spins.
