You get a lot of bands saying they are all about the fans. Well, Bleeding Through proved it! When a fan recognized the members of BLEEDING THROUGH having lunch near the freeway, he could not have imagined the chain of events that would follow. BLEEDING THROUGH was passing through Medford, Oregon on a day off from this summer’s Ozzfest and had pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot to eat. After spotting the Orange County metal crew getting out of their bus and going into the fast-food restaurant, the fan called over a dozen of his friends who descended on the eatery ? some of them wearing BLEEDING THROUGH shirts. The band talked at length with the fans as they signed autographs and posed for pictures. “All of the kids were really cool. They started telling us that most national touring bands don’t stop in their town to play shows,” recalls Schieppati. “One of them said he felt like he would probably never seen BLEEDING THROUGH, or any band like us, in his life.” Without a moment’s hesitation, the band ? who honed their brand of metal in the “DIY” hardcore scene ? asked the fans if there were any shows happening that night they could participate in. “We ended up going to this club where a bunch of local bands were playing ? a psychobilly band, a hardcore band, an emo band ? and we just set up our stuff and played a set,” Schieppati said. There were roughly 150 kids in attendance at the show, which was a benefit, with all proceeds going toward cancer research. The Bleeding Through site Source: Blabbermouth

Before anyone asks, this is not a way for men to last longer in the bedroom. It is however the awesome new video from Orange County favourite, Bleeding Through. The clip, which was filmed last month in the California desert, continues the band’s homage to gritty Americana horror. Directed by Zach Merck (SHADOWS FALL, CONVERGE) and Kevin Leonard (HIMSA, DIECAST), both the “Love In Slow Motion” video and BLEEDING THROUGH’s clip for the song “Kill to Believe” are a loving tribute to the work of George Romero (“Night Of The Living Dead”) and Tobe Hooper (“Texas Chainsaw Massacre”). Merck explains how he came up with the concept. “When we met with the band they explained that a number of their peers were going the rock & roll route with their music and getting more polished,” he said. “With this album they were returning to a rawer and darker sound. I took that to mean instead of doing a bigger and glossier video that we return to the roots of the gritty and lo-fi horror movies that inspired us as kids.” CLICK HERE to watch the video on MYSPACE SOURCE: Blabbermouth
