Maaaaaaan, you’ve got to listen to this. Making their POD debut now is LA outfit Bleached, with their latest track “Sour Candy.” The second this song kicks in, I was hooked. The main lick sounds like a fresh take on the equally catchy Undertones song “Teenage Kicks,” but Bleached’s has a little more 50s Rock & Roll flair with just enough of an 80s Pop sensibility. I’m making it my goal to see them when I’m down in ATX next week for SXSW.
Composed of Jen Clavin (vocals, guitar), Jessie Clavin (guitar) and Micayla Grace (bass), this trio will be releasing their new album Welcome The Worms on April 1st via Dead Oceans. Check out the making-of mini documentary below.
