Prepare to step into a spectacular new chapter for melodic hardcore act 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌, with the Sydney five-piece set to release their eagerly-anticipated sophomore album this Friday, alongside the announcement today of a national Australian headline tour to officially launch the album on home soil next February, joined by special guests 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃 (USA).
One of the most prolific rising acts on the Australian heavy scene, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌 emerged in 2017, introducing the world to their open-veined take on melodic hardcore that would ultimately build into their 2024 debut full-length, Maybe In Another Life. Wasting no time to rest on their laurels or the acclaim that accompanied their debut LP, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌 quickly turned their gaze to working on their sophomore album 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑊𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒 (due out October 31 via Pure Noise Records); a multi-faceted and matured collection of songs that finds the band extending their creative reach beyond internal and external expectations. Steeped in light and shade equally, amongst stadium-ready anthems, hazy moments that straddles shoegaze, grunge and dreampop, bone-rattling heaviness and lashings of authentic emotion, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑊𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒 firmly places 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌 at the forefront of heavy music, while also boasting the group's first credited guest vocals, including Movements' Patrick Miranda, Yours Truly's Mikaila Delgado and Void Of Vision's Jack Bergin.
Recently ticking off performances with Silverstein in Europe earlier this year, as well as performances throughout 2025 alongside Chelsea Grin, Currents, Trophy Eyes, and their own almost entirely sold out run in support of single Withered last month, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌 are now currently on the road with fellow Aussie staples Thornhill and Ocean Grove in the UK and Europe, and will close out the year in North America supporting Silverstein. With their live show declared most recently by HiFi Way as "𝑎 𝑟𝑖𝑝-𝑟𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠",, and Scenestr praising that "𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑢𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟", 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐌's anticipated return to Australian audiences in 2026 is only set to ignite further following the release of The Light We Chase this Friday.
A band with no shortage of adjectives to describe their high-octane sound, spanning engaging, edgy, erratic, irreverent, wild, vibrant and fun, Seattle five-piece 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃 channel the insatiable sonic legacy of their home town into their own unique aesthetic, bringing passion, innovation and provication back into heavy music, while also building a powerful community in the process. Introducing a new era for the band via singles like 𝑀𝑦 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑, 𝐶𝑂𝑊𝐴𝐵𝑈𝑁𝐺𝐴 and 𝑆𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑡 (K*ll It) in the lead-up to their 2022 album Cult Mentality, 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃 have also carved out an enviable reputation for their live performance, catapulting 90s/00s aesthetics and infectious hedonism into the modern day that has seen them in demand touring with Silent Planet, Dayseeker and Thornhill amongst many others.
