I think any American girl fronted
rock band will remind us of Hole, in fact the vocals on Electric Chair sound
very reminiscent of Courtney Love. However Bleached do what every simple, guitar
band should do – make great music which makes you want to sing and move to, so
comparisons to this band or that band are inevitable and shouldn’t really be
paid attention to. We first heard of these through the Guardian band of the day
blog, whereby they were (unsurprisingly) slated – but as I’ve never read a
positive review by that particular author, I assume this must mean Bleached are
actually a good band, which they are.
Latest single, ‘Searching Through
the Past’ is incredibly catchy, you’ll find it will be stuck in your head for a
long time, so I apologise for that. However it’s a good song so you should
actually be grateful! While it sounds simple, slightly repetitive even, it does
what every good rock and roll song should and makes you listen again and again,
it’s a pop-punk song which sounds just like it’s come from California, which it
has. It’s my favourite track, followed closely by ‘Think of You’
Unfortunately this is only a
quick review as we’re away for the rest of the week, but I had to get Bleached
up on the blog now as they’re awesome. If you don’t believe me check out the
rest of their stuff here;
