BLEED Marathon From 'Bleed' releasing May 2nd, 2025 LP / CD / TAPE / DIGITAL 'Marathon' was directed by Colt Matheson and shot in Dallas, Texas. https://www.20buckspin.com/bleed https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album... Marathon Lyrics: When they see the way you are Let them down Ride the rail and come around They say time (heals all) But time’s not mine (at all) When you’re finally at the door Of what you found Ride the rail too hard and turn around I found isolation through desperation They say time heals alI looked inside and all I know The answers I can’t find 1. Climbing Down 2. Fixate 3. Through The Cylinder 4. Killing Time 5. Marathon 6. Cynical 7. Enjoy Your Stay (ft. Static Dress) 8. Slip 9. Shallow 10. Take It Out Bleed’s introductory EP ‘Somebody’s Closer’ was initially self-released by the band through digital platforms in 2021. Despite no physical release at the time, the EP, invoking late 90s / early 00’s era alt rock / metal gained the Dallas, Texas-based band a lotta buzz with its gauzy distortion balancing tension and atmosphere, and via several mutual connections came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin. The label issued vinyl and cassette editions in 2022 bringing Bleed’s music to new audiences and wider attention. Since that time the anticipation for the band’s debut full length has built to fever pitch, and at long last it arrives as Spring heads into Summer. Bleed’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnoticlly lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep interntal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m. Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of Bleed’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way Bleed let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.
