Bleak Track

Bleak Track was a female-fronted 3 piece from East Bay San Francisco, that offered up a gloomy marriage of melodic deathpunk & noisewave, punctuated by heavy bass. Melody Bleak's suicide-note lyrics & machine-gun guitar antics echo over eerie layers of bass, keyboards & live percussion. Bassist Dave Ed (Neurosis) lent his notorious destruction-of-sound to the record, while Jason Nipple (UK Subs & The Enemies) brought things full circle with hard-hitting punk rock drums.
Bleak Track was very much early Siouxsie-meets-Sonic Youth, with perhaps a dash of X-mal Deutschland. Bleak Track self-released their debut EP, “Starting to Dream” in the summer of 2003. A virtual collage of musical genres, “Starting to Dream” effectively blurs the boundaries of Deathrock and Punk with its own unique sound, and is definitely worth a listen for fans of the genres! The band later unnofficially released their most popular single, "Kiss Like a Curse," but disbanded shortly after.
Melody Bleak can still be heard singing for the Brooklyn, NY band, Blackpool, and lending her vocal talents to SINister Records artist Anguisette.
