Hassle Records
The Bled, Arizona's best band ever??? Mayhaps, mayhaps, but this summers Warped tour seemed to gather a decent crowd in Pittsburgh, and the new songs, at first were taken too, but tentatively. I think the sophomore record for every band is a hard thing to get over, after a line-up change, and a more melodic approach to "FOUND", it seemed like The Bled had gone soft...then I listened. This record is all about subtle musicianship. IT WILL PUMMEL YOUR FACE AND EARS, but if you take a serious listen, the time and note changes make the record that much better, and the newer vocal approach makes THE BLED stand out AGAIN amongst the metalcorechaotic****shitupmeta lbreakdowncore that it is...get it, no slump here.
