Album Notes

Bleak Track is a female-fronted 3 piece from East Bay SF, offering a gloomy marriage of melodic deathpunk & 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 (Neurosis) lends his notorious "destruction of" sound to the record, while Jason Nipple (UK Subs, 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.

"Starting to Dream" is distributed through SINister Records, Seattle, WA - www.SINisterRecords.com

...Enjoy the ride, boys and girls!
author: Judas Christ
I was once told by a friend that he hated to listen to bands that made him feel like he was being lied to. After listening to BLEAK TRACK, I would highly recomend them to him. BLEAK TRACK spares you from that dishonesty with heart breaking lyrics and a musical recipe that's like Siouxsie with a dash of Bella Morte. They fuse apathy with optimism whithin the song STARTING TO DREAM, by saying,'In the end this all means nothing,'and, 'Oh the terror/when you discover/there is such a thing as forever.'They 'bury the past in a casket of glass,' on DECOMPOSING LOVE and then promptly take you on a journey through your own mind's eye on the adjacent track, TERRIBLE. Without a doubt, BLEAK TRACK definitely deserves our close attention...enjoy the ride, boys and girls!
