Their current line-up consists of Brandan Schieppati (vocals), Brian Leppke (guitar), Jona Weinhofen (guitar), Ryan Wombacher (bass), Derek Youngsma (drums) and Marta Peterson (keyboards). They were a fairly underground group when they signed with Trustkill Records in 2003, and have released two albums, their breakthrough, This Is Love, This Is Murderous and The Truth. http://www.bleedingthrough.com/ The band received considerable media attention outside of the heavy metal community for their involvement in a van accident in December 2003, filmed by a TV crew, which happened to be there to report on another crash. http://www.myspace.com/bleedingthrough In 2003, Spin called Bleeding Through an "artist to watch". In 2004, Revolver magazine hailed Bleeding Through as one of eight bands ushering in the "Future of Metal" cover story. Their latest album, The Truth was named "one of the four most important hard rock albums of 2006" by Billboard magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_Through Bleeding Through, a straight edge metalcore band, formed during the summer of 1999 in Orange County, CA. The band's roots can be traced back to 1998, when Breakneck was founded by Brandan 'Sheep' Schieppati (Eighteen Visions / Throwdown), Javier Van Huss (Eighteen Visions / The Mistake / Enewetak), guitarist Scott Danough, bass guitarist Chad Tafolla and drummer Troy Born (Taken). They made their live debut as the supporting act to Throwdown and Adamantium.[ As the band witnessed lineup changes, the departure of Van Huss and subsequent recruitment of Marc Jackson (Throwdown / Cold War) to cover bass whilst Tafolla reverted to guitar, they decided to expand their current hardcore sound and added elements of death metal to their music. With that shift the new band name of Bleeding Through was adopted (after playing only one show as Breakneck). The origin of the band's name was explained in an interview as follows: "Well, it is summed up by the explanation that whether black, white, red, brown, yellow, religious preference, straight or gay, we all bleed the same, and we bleed through this life the same. Thus Bleeding Through." http://www.trustkill.com/artist/Bleeding+Through Author: capitalchaos Keywords: BLEEDING THROUGH Metalcore Thrash Death Emo sexy fun OC Alternative Blues Pop Indie Rock Added: July 25, 2008
