Originally named Reading Rainbow, Bleeding Rainbow popped up on the skirt of the lo-fi indie trend in late 2009. Philadelphia transplants and eventually married couple Rob Garcia and Sarah Everton formed the band from the ashes of Forensic Teens. After their drummer bailed, Everton turned to the drums herself and learned how to accompany guitarist Garcia. Embracing minimalism, heavy reverb saturation, and an analog aesthetic, the duo debuted with an EP of demos and an LP, Mystical Participation, before making plans to release Songs to Sing in early 2010. A second album, Prism Eyes, also arrived in 2010. In 2012 the band changed its name and expanded its lineup. The quartet worked together on the darker, more feedback-laden 2013 full-length Yeah Right. ~ Fred Thomas
