The only reason you might not have heard of Bleak<\/em> is because they just released their debut My Body Is Not Where I Belong<\/em> on March 11. But you really need to listen to Bleak<\/strong>. In a world of late ’90s and 2000s throwback bands that cash in on alright-to-pretty-good songwriting, Bleak<\/strong> is out here loading their release up with seven bangers.<\/p>\n My Body Is Not Where I Belong<\/em> is the perfect blend of angsty n\u00fc-tinged radio bangers and an almost grungy style of riffing. Couple that with Bleak<\/strong>‘s ability to place a breakdown damn near perfectly and I’d be shocked if this band still had physical copies in stock by this time next week.<\/p>\n Is My Body Is Not Where I Belong<\/em> perfect? No. Some of the band’s composition could use a little refinement in terms of too much going on in the wrong places (some of the guitar melodies in “Can’t Feel A Thing” come to mind); and some of the vocal melodies get either touch repetitive or feel slightly out-of-place at points (lookin’ at you, “Pile Of Stars”). But for a first effort, this is incredibly promising.<\/p>\n I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw Bleak<\/strong> on either Closed Casket or 20 Buck Spin (alongside Bleed<\/a><\/strong>) soon. That, or now that Superheaven<\/strong> is back together, I’m sure they’ll need openers for whatever tours they might have planned.<\/p>\n Do yourself a favor and buy My Body Is Not Where I Belong<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
