The Bled is a post-hardcore band from Tucson, Arizona. The band members united over their love of music and their desire to get out of Tucson. They formed in 2001 and soon established a name for themselves in their home town, playing many shows and often to sold out audiences. Eventually they signed to Fiddler Records and released one album through them - Pass The Flask. The band toured extensively in support of this album. However, before recording started for their second album, original bass player, Mike Celi, left the band. He was replaced by Darren Simoes. The band is currently signed to Vagrant Records and through them, released their second album, Found In The Flood in 2005. They have toured alongside such bands as Slipknot, Alexisonfire, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thrice, Midtown, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Underoath, Senses Fail, and AFI. The Bled's very first headlining tour was shared with Protest the Hero of Canada.

[edit] The Bled Today

A recently posted MySpace blog by the band stated that they are currently writing the "best album we've ever written", and are currently in the studios now to record their July 2007 release album.

[edit] Trivia

In the television drama series, The O.C., main character Seth Cohen has a poster of The Bled on his bedroom wall.
Vocalist James Muñoz joined the band a day before recording the debut album, as he was referred to the band by previous vocalist Adam Goss.
In the rock magazine Kerrang they were hailed as the Kings of Screamo, and their live shows reminded them of the now-split At the Drive-In.
