Serving up bouncy punk-pop that sounds a little like a cheerier take on their former band Mika Miko, Bleached feature sisters Jennifer and Jessica Clavin. They played shows with like-minded bands such as Hunx & His Punx in June 2011 and issued their first single, Francis, on Ooga Booga. That July, the Carter single arrived courtesy of Art Fag. By the time their third release, the limited-edition single Searching Through the Past, arrived that December, Bleached had already adopted a cleaner, more structured sound. This more polished style was evident on the band's first full-length, 2013's Ride Your Heart. ~ Heather Phares
