About Bloom

There are at least four bands with the name Bloom. A few more undoubtedly exist. Bloom (Slovakia) *Bloom (Gainesville FL) **Bloom(Hungarian) ***BLOOM_ (Cardiff, Wales) ****Bloom (Rockford IL) *****Bloom (County Antrim, Northern Ireland) ******Bloom (Nashville, TN) *******Bloom (SLC, UT) officialbloom.com ********Bloom (Vancouver, BC - http://bloomnoise.bandcamp.com) Bloom (Slovakia) - http://www.bloomband.sk: The pure and gentle acoustic sound of Bloom is a result of band members search for their own unique voice in this noisy world. Bloom was founded as an acoustic project of Barbora Drahovská (vocals) and Lukáš Kyška (guitar) after break-up of their rock band Soundrise. They directed their efforts to create acoustic, meaningful music to which they've felt much more connected. Minimalistic instrumentation of the duo resulted in calm and peaceful songwriting based on colorful guitar harmonies and gentle vocal lines. With a few own compositions and some covers, Barbora and Lukáš started to present their music live with a great success. In order to present themselves to a larger audience, they decided to record their first EP in March 2011. A four-song demo was recorded in Bratislava and mastered by a famous Slovak bass player and producer Oskar Rózsa. Although they were very satisfied with band's sound and positive responses, Barbora and Lukáš decided to expand their musical possibilities by creating a full band with bass guitar and drums. And so at the end of year 2011 Bloom became a four-member band with Jozef Yogi Graus on bass guitar and Igor Ajdži Sabo on drums. By adding two new instruments, the sound of the band became more groovy and energetic while at the same time still remaining delicate and mellow. The repertoire ranges from slow poetical compositions to more optimistic, up-tempo songs. While mixing different musical styles into something new, music of Bloom is instantly recognizable. It is hard to define it by genre, so the band members like to call it modern acoustic songwriting. Bloom's musical aspirations go beyond casual notions. The band members want to connect with people not only on musical but also personal level. By using the means of music they want to make people's lives better and lighter. They believe that the power of music should serve the higher good: to make this world a better place to live. *Gainesville Florida: With a sound often compared to rock institutions like T-Rex, the Pixies and Bowie, bloom made national headlines this year by racking up a mountain of positive reviews for their album "O'Sinner". The record was produced by Brian Paulson (Beck, Wilco, Husker Du). The band turned heads at this year's SXSW, solidifying their reputation as a standout pop/rock act in an oversaturated garage rock scene. Bloom spent a great deal of their time in the past year on the road. Along the way they shared stages with Guided by Voices, the Mooney Suzuki, the Dears, Moving Units, Rouge Wave, Suicide Girls, Urge Overkill, Mellowdrone and the Blue Van. Keep your eye out for bloom on the new season of MTV's The Real World Austin. **Hungarian: The band was established in Körösladány, Békés county, in March 2007, although the real estabslihment was the time when we began to rehearse. The name of our band is delusive because our music doesn't reflect softness, rather tries to express the diversity of our music, as bloom is colourful and unique. Our music embraces the style of modern metal music and at the same time it comprises the old, traditional metal bands sound style. If you imagine the mixture of Slipknot, Korn, Soulfly, Machine Head, Static- X and the old Sepultura, you will get the taste of our music. If you add some of our own conseptions, a little elektro and hip-hop base, you will get the style of our band. We hope our music will appeal to a lot of people. We had some difficulties, and we have to face subsequent problems in the future, but we do our best and make you go wild. The band: János Bojti - vocal Tamás Bojti - bass Zoltán Kis "RUGÓ" - guitar Miklós Pozojevich "MUKY" - guitar Zsolt Vandra "BEATMASTA" - drums ***BLOOM is neither of these bands (http://myspace.com/gapppm) ****Bloom (Rockford IL): Operating under currently DIY/independent Keep it Together Records, these pop punk guys released their first album on cassette tape on May 28, 2011. It is a self-titled, which presents a plays conflict between their self-titled and the Florida outfit's self-titled of the same name, Bloom. Nevertheless, if this can be forgiven, they are catchy and have a very hooky singer, not to mention very entertaining live shows. They are said to remind listeners of young Green Day. Unfortunately, they played their last show on August 17, 2011. Or as it was indicated, their last show "for the ice age/awhile". *****Bloom (County Antrim, Northern Ireland) Grime producer Bloom first hit the grime scene in 2012 with the single Quartz released on Gobstopper, which FACT Magazine described as the "grime track of 2012". 2013 saw the release of the "Maze Temple" EP on Lost Codes, which followed the accolades of Quartz with write-ups in Sonic Router and K-Mag. ******Bloom (Nashville, TN) Bloom is the moniker that Nashville, TN's Luke Granered gives to his emo whatever project, formed out of the necessity to do something with the songs he can't stop writing speculatively fueled by his 90′s haircut and inability to talk to girls. You might recognize him from his other band, Better Off, but probably not. Regardless, Bloom is headed to Glow In The Dark Studios in late September to record their debut full-length which will hit the streets via vinyl and digital sometime this winter. Until then, head over to their Bandcamp and check out their recent demo EP Didn't See You There which includes a fabulous cover of Jackson 5′s "I Want You Back". Their debut album Thousand Yard Stare comes out Spring 2014. Official Website Official Facebook page *******Bloom (SLC, UT) officialbloom.com A very popular new rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah.
