WJRR's Earthday Birthday Pre-Gaming: Bleeker 101


By Robin Ervolina
Coming down from the Great White North, Canadian rockers Bleeker will be performing at WJRR's Earthday Birthday on April 22 in Orlando, FL. If you're a Canadian rock fan, you may recognize them as the chart topping Bleeker Ridge (the name change occurred after 1/2 of the original band left to pursue other opportunities).
I had an opportunity to listen to their latest CD Erase You, and it simply and elegantly rocks. There's no crazy mixing, no odd tweaking, no vocal fry or outrageous scaling; it's just clean fantastic music. Their catchy tunes live on in your head long after you've unplugged the ear buds. Infusing blues and soul into the post-grunge sound of old, they've created something vibrant and solid. I'm pretty excited about seeing these guys perform live, and I'd love to see you give these young snow birds a good old fashion Florida welcome.
As always, cue the videos:
