Album Notes

"I WANNA BLEED SO YOU CAN SUCK IT DOWN"

Aaron Trumm "comes at you from the ceiling, crashes into your brain and stays there for a week". The nationally ranked slam poet and internationally recognized recording artist hits the streets again with his latest addition to the music scene, "Bleed". This brain child cuts across musical stereotypes and will seep into the minds and souls of his listeners, leaving them amazed and wanting more.

Sometimes a hard guitar, others a piano. Hip-hop beats, rapped verses, sung choruses, spoken word tracks, the variety envelope pushed and pulled, twisted and re-stitched. Aaron moves effortlessly between blues singing, rapping and free form spoken word; even within a verse. Lyrics that admit, truth-say, and uplift.

"With enough love, this ****** up world is just stuff." - from title track.

Aaron Trumm has been bleeding on microphones, studios, and live audiences since 1989. He has bled out a number 10 ranking in the world as a slam poet, 2 Houston poetry slam championships, 5 national poetry slam appearances, 2 alternative hip-hop CDs under the name "M.C. Murph", the techno/classical/poetry fusion act Third Option, which was called "wicked, totally compelling" by BBC Radio I's Annie Nightingale, publications ranging the spectrum of music and technology from Linux Journal to the National Poetry Slam anthology, a master's degree from Stanford (Music, Science and Technology), and a nation full of stages left burnt, bloody and alive.

Suck it down.
