With a recent support slot on the Good Charlotte and Day of Contempt tour, and the release of their Self Titled EP in Australia, The Bleeders are taking the Australian Punk/Hardcore scene by storm. Forming in Aukland in the 2002, they are one of the most talked about acts of this genre from New Zealand at the moment. They have scored supports for bands such as Hot Water Music, Good Riddance, Strung Out, Sick of It All, The Ataris and The Hope Conspiracy, as well as a main stage slot at this years Aukland Big Day Out. I caught them just before they went on stage to play before nearly 10 thousand screaming kids at Vodafone Area in Melbourne at the Good Charlotte show, and grabbed some quick photos and asked some quick questions!
