About the Artist

ItÂ’s a hell of a drive for a band thatÂ’s got nothingÂ… bloom has constantly been moving forward since forming in Gainesville, Fl in 1995. The three-piece indie rock band has just released their new album "O sinner" on the independent record label Cell Records. The album was recorded at David LowryÂ’s (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven) Sound Of Music Studios in Richmond, VA and was produced and mixed by Brian Paulson (Beck, Wilco, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr). In January, bloom will be leaving Florida for a national tour playing in support of the Suicide Girls Burlesque Show. The 40 city tour is being routed by The Kork Booking Agency where bloom will be playing at the countryÂ’s most legendary clubs: Metro (Chicago), Great American Music Hall (San Francisco), Knitting Factory (New York). --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

"O sinner ", bloom’s fourth release, dives further into the bands 80’s pop influences presenting material that is expertly simple, imaginative, and anthemic. The band blends the unique dynamics of the Pixies with the cool catchiness of the Jesus and Mary Chain. The album "O sinner" is a picture book of melancholic pop portraits. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah I like 80's revival, what of it?, February 15, 2005

I just picked this CD last weekend on a recommendation. It is on the heaviest rotation of the stuff I picked up. I got the Sleepy Jackson Lover's, Louis XIV illegal tender and Muse's absolution. That's pretty good company you'd have to say. It isn't as clean or heady of any of them but it is catchy as hell.

Dopey sarcastic lyrics, ripping Ramonesque guitars, sick fretless base, straight up bratty beats, hammond organs and yes goofy handclaps. At first listen the music sounds like Cheap Trick, Cars, Billy Squire, Ramones, NY Dolls, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks all at the same time, yeah maybe, but after a while you stop caring and push play again.

Devin Moore's vocals sound a lot like Mac McCaughans of Superchunk but with more drive and a lot more snottiness. The entire band of Devin Moore, Brendon Moore (related I assume) and Jeff Fataille all play great. I know absolutely nothing about their pedigree except I think they are from Orlando. I just like the music.

If you are sick of the hype surrounding bands like hot hot heat and the Strokes and just want to have some fun then buy the CD. Can't beat the price of 9.99. I gave it 5 stars because this CD for me is the opposite of crap. Is it classic maybe not but they did a real nice job and they deserve it. If you like rock but hate overproduced nu metal then you might dig this.

If you are into Cheap Trick or the Buzzcocks...or just good power pop in general, you need to pick this up. I can't get this out of my cd player!
