Bleak Breaks Down On Tour
New York outfit Bleak has issued the following statement online about seeking fan help in buying merch after the group's van broke down on the road:
"Bleak is in some serious trouble. The frame on our van has completely rusted apart, so we had to buy a Suburban truck to finish the tour. We are broke, tired, and frustrated. That being said - we are back on the road ready to finish this tour... no matter what.
"As long as there is at least one person in the world that this band means something to, we won't stop. We have said before, and we continue to believe that Bleak would be nothing without those who support us. If you wanted to buy some merch from us online, we will mail to you while on the road. Every little bit of support helps. Thank you all."
Blasphemour Records also adds: "Our boys in Bleak have run into some trouble on their U.S. tour. Their van has had its last day, and they were forced to buy a vehicle to continue on, and attempt to make it home and to the rest of their dates. Being from NY, and getting stranded in CA has to be a stressful and scary thing. Lets help these guys out, any way we can.
"Go to their webstore and buy some merch, go to a show and buy some merch or even donate to the cause, or just spread the word. You can also go to the Blasphemour Records webstore at this location and buy anything you want now through the end of the Bleak US tour, and we will donate 30% of your sale to Bleak. If you would like to donate to the band, please let us know, and we will get you in touch with someone that can make that happen. Lets show these guys we care about our music, and the people that make it." More...
Bleak Releasing New Album
New York outfit Bleak will be releasing a debut full-length album this Summer on Hex Records. The members, all mainstays of the hardcore / metal / punk scene in Syracruse, have been crushing eardrums in various other bands before coming together to form Bleak two years ago. Since that time they have released a couple demos, splits, and an EP while touring consistently throughout the East Coast and Midwest.
The album will be recorded this month at Watchmen Studios in Buffalo, NY with Doug White at the helm. The record will be out this Summer and will be followed by a split with fellow Syracuse grind unit Dialysis, also to be released on Hex Records. You can hear the band's previous self-titled EP release below, or catch Bleak live on these dates: More...
