The first time they jammed together, the members of Bleeker were barely twelve years old. Their start was marked by covers of Jimi Hendrix and Joe Walsh before independent CD releases such as “Undertow” (2004) and “The Rain” (2007) were recorded and released on their own. Two years later, the group were already winning over A&R scouts from Universal, playing stages like they were in their mid-30s, and signing to Roadrunner Records shortly afterwards. Since then, they have been inseparable and constantly successful, even beyond their Canadian homeland. They have already shared the stage with Papa Roach and Buckcherry and have additionally managed to build up a stable fanbase in Europe with their last album, “Erase You” (2016). Now, after seven long years of waiting, their latest work, “Messed Up” (2024), is finally being released and shows the band in top form. With overpowering guitar grooves and sing-along hooks, all of Bleeker’s abilities come together in a more integrated package than ever before. They are a band at the zenith of their career right now.
