Bleed are back with the second single from their self-titled debut album (due out May 02nd.) Today has seen the arrival of the shoegazey alternative metal group’s new song “Enjoy Your Stay“, which features a guest spot from Olli Appleyard of British post-hardcore outfit Static Dress. Bleed had the following to say about the song and working together with Appleyard:
“‘Enjoy Your Stay‘ is a prime example, in our opinion, of pushing our own envelope as a band. We want to maintain aggression while not settling for a slower pace or easy licks. It’s undoubtedly a hard rock song at the core but in our own vision. It also further proves that every song on the record is pretty different from the others. We didn’t set out to accomplish that necessarily, however it’s just how it fell. It’s a testament to where we started as a band and where we are now.
The decision to have Olli (Static Dress) on the track also came pretty naturally. We’ve maintained a lot of mutual respect for each other because we both do things our own way with no rule book. Everything they create from music to aesthetics evoke certain feelings and its intentional, and that’s how we operate.”
“Bleed” is headed for a May 02nd release date on 20 Buck Spin. You can find them out in support of it next month as support for One Step Closer and more on the following run:
