Orange County, CA, s**tet Bleeding Through formed in the year 2000 and features vocalist Brandan Schieppati, guitarists Brian Leppke and Scott Danough, ba**ist Ryan Wombacher, drummer Derek Youngsma, and keyboardist Marta. Probably the county's biggest misfits, Bleeding Through doesn't play pop, ska, hardcore, or even punk (though they sure look like the latter), but rather crushing aggro-d**h-core popular among many American post-screamo bands of the mid-2000s. After debuting with 2002's Portrait of the Goddess, the group signed with New Jersey-based Trustk** Records and unleashed two well-regarded albums in 2004's This Is Love, This Is Murderous and 2006's The Truth. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
