“I think we’ve always done a really good job of sticking true to what we want to do and backing ourselves…”
From Release: 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.
We caught up with Jono from Bloom to talk about the bands Australian tour, their live show, their newest music, and so much more…
