If you’re not too young, and it’s not too painful, cast your mind back to 2003. The studded belts. The big fringes. The eyeliner. The teen angst. The legions of identikit metalcore bands. It was a different time. It can also be viewed as a most regrettable time. For fashion. For music. For everything, really. The Bled were a little known band from this period who seemed to unleash this album onto this world with no really thought as to what would happen next. Are they a true anomaly of this period? Probably not. Mark and Weaver listened to a bunch of shit like in their youth. Both moved on, but Mark felt it was time to address this period in music history and thus chose The Bled. We go over their career, the weird emo/metalcore scene they were born from, and everything in between. We have no real desire to come back to this genre, or period, of music. But it was important, and this is our stab at an unsung classic from that era. Should it go into our discography? There’s a plot twist at the end of this episode, incidentally…
