The Bled change lineup
Original Bled members James Munoz (vocals) and Jeremy Talley (guitar) brought in a new guitarist, bassist and drummer to preserve their dream and "rock by any means necessary."
Robbie Burbidge (Starving Arms and the Funeral March) is taking over guitar for Ross Joseph Ott. Brad Murray (Starving Arms and Versus The Mirror) is on bass for Darren Tang Simoes. And Josh Skeebar (Is To Feel) takes the drums for Michael Aaron Pedicone.
Pedicone is now "drumming with an alternative rock icon" while Ott and Simoes have decided to opt-out of the touring life. Ott enrolled in college and Simoes is working for Artistforce in Austin, Texas.
Talley blogged on their MySpace yesterday:
"With me doing the writing and James being the voice and personality of the band, we think it’s pointless to close the book on seven years of work and fun only to start something that sounds and feels similar to the Bled. So we have been putting this puzzle back together again, still keeping true to the simple formula of five friends making aggressive music together. We didn’t want to stretch outside our circle of friends to replace dudes that we have known for years."
