Bleak Track

» go to the music page for more
Bleak Track is a female-fronted 3 piece from East Bay SF, offering a gloomy marriage of death punk & noisewave, punctuated by heavy bass. Melody Bleak’s suicide-note lyrics & machine-gun guitar antics echo over eerie layers of bass, keyboards & live drums. This is early Siouxsie meets Sonic Youth. Bassist Dave Ed of Neurosis lends his notorious "destruction of" sound to the record, while Jason Nipple of UK Subs and The Enemies brings things full circle with hard-hitting punk rock drums. A virtual collage of musical genres, Bleak Track effectively blurs the boundaries of Deathrock with their own unique sound.
Why this name?
It's a secret, but here's a hint..."On that Bleak Track, see the sun is gone again. Tears were pouring down her face. She was crying and crying for a girl who died so many years before...sometimes I dream, while all the other people dance..."
Do you play live?
Bleak Track has played only in California so far. Favorite band to play with: Phantom Limbs....because you never know what the hell is going to happen...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has definitely empowered musicians who chose not to fit the mass media template. It's a great venue for underground music and people who want to explore what's beyond "market research music." The internet has enabled people to share their music and ideas without the influence of the music industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
There are plenty of smaller, independent labels that are just as capable of getting a record into people's hands.
Your influences?
The Cure, Joy Division, Devo, Sonic Youth, Christian Death, Siouxsie....way too many to list!
Favorite spot?
The ocean at night.
