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 F*g. 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
