intro

Solid, but strangely lost-sounding first single from American hardcore act the Bled's impressive new second album 'Found in the Flood'

The first single off 'Found in the Flood', the second album from the Bled may not accomplish what it has set out for itself. Don't get me wrong ! It's a great song, full of soaring vocals, brutal riffage and generally all the hallmarks that make the Bled what they are. The band have accomplished in one song what lower par bands strive to achieve on an entire EP It's just that on it's own it feels like it's been stuck out on a limb, somewhat like the recent whale in the Thames, a lovely creature, but without its pod, it's somewhat... lost. Definitely worth a listen, but if you have the finances for it, then the album provides a much better experience
