EP #99 - How The Bleeders Built A New Zealand Punk Legacy

Send us Fan MailI sat down with Angelo and Gareth from the legendary New Zealand punk rock band The Bleeders as they celebrate 20 years of As Sweet As Sin. We dig into the early scene that built them, the Canada move that broke them for a while, and why live shows still beat algorithms every day of the week. We talked How the band forms through friendship and straight-up poaching from other local bands, the early “we’ve got something here” moments, radio and streaming, social media fatigue and the snowball to the 2009 breakup.What they would change with hindsight, Translating “All That Glitters” into Te Reo Māori., weird gigs, chaos shows, and meeting heroes like Lemmy and the Sex Pistols. https://www.tiktok.com/@onlyscottspodcastGo support The BleedersLinktree: https://linktr.ee/BleedersSweetasSinIG: https://www.instagram.com/bleedersofficial/FB: https://www.facebook.com/bleedersofficialSponsored by Infinity SleepGet the sleep you deserve and use the promo code “onlyscott15%” and receive 15% off your first order.https://www.infinitysleep.co.nz/My Social MediaYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@OnlyScottInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/theonlyscott01/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@onlyscottspodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/Only-Scott-100091616387021/Support the show
