**Bleed Electric release debut double A-Side Single 02.02.2010 **
“The Last Night of 1989 / XII Special Weapons and Tactics"
available digitally via Altsounds Records
The time has finally come for the release of Bleed Electric’s
<javascript:void(0);/*1264046496667*/>
much anticipated debut single, “The Last Night of 1989 / XII
Special Weapons and Tactics.†Bleed Electric
<javascript:void(0);/*1264046503601*/>
is a Hip Hop / Alternative / Electro trio from Cardiff, Wales that
is a result of the partnership between Altsounds.com owner Chris
"MUG5" Maguire and band mates Silk and Siege. Originally a solo
project for Maguire, Bleed Electric quickly grasped its definitive
sound and identity upon Maguire’s collaboration with Silk and Siege.
“The Last Night of 1989 / XII Special Weapons and Tactics†serves
as an introduction to the several double A-side singles to be released
in the next 18 months from Bleed Electric’s debut albums “Radio
Friendly Unit Shifter†and “The Butterfly Effect.†The double
A-sides actually consist of one track off of each respective album,
with “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter†playing the role of the more
commercially-acceptable counterpart to Bleed Electric’s concept
album, “The Butterfly Effect.†Essentially these two albums are
polar opposites of each other in all possible senses: sound, subject
matter, and overall feel. Why this combination? Bleed Electric aims to
draw in the masses through the lighter pop of “Radio Friendly Unit
Shifter†in order to simultaneously hit listeners with the main
focus of the band, which is the much darker material on “The
Butterfly Effect.†Touché, Bleed Electric, touché.
Bleed Electric plans to release the rest of the double A-side singles
throughout the next two years in order to create a piecing-together
effect for the listener. Each back-side single from “The Butterfly
Effect†is denoted with a Roman numeral to indicate in which order
that single lies on the album. After Bleed Electric has released all
the singles, the listeners will be able to recreate the entire
storyline of “The Butterfly Effect,†which essentially follows the
life of main character Andy Turner and his walk through all sorts of
crazy events involving love, drugs, murder, hostage situations, and
everything else leading up to the taking of his own life.
In order to convey their music exactly the way that they imagined it,
the members of Bleed Electric have conceptualized and produced every
aspect of not only their albums, but also the accompanying, artwork,
photography and music videos as well. Bleed Electric’s first music
video was for “The Last Night of 1989â€
<javascript:void(0);/*1264046482071*/>
which was created 100% by the band. Bleed Electric plans to create
videos for the counterpart singles from “The Butterfly Effectâ€
which will appear like scenes from a movie, following the story of
Andy Turner.
By creating these albums and releasing its singles in this unique
way, Bleed Electric hopes to shake up the music industry in an attempt
to break from it's traditional concepts of how music should be
portrayed and released.
Bleed Electric’s music of an ungraspable and unique genre is bound
to continue to capture the attention of listeners throughout these
next 18 months. “The Last Night of 1989 / XII Special Weapons and
Tactics†is only a taste of what Bleed Electric and Altsounds
Records has in store for the masses, so be prepared.

About Altsounds.com
AltSounds <http://altsounds.com/>
is an international alternative online music community. By
‘Alternative’ we don’t mean ‘Alt Rock,’ we mean it as its
technical definition - Alternative to the mainstream. It’s about
having a choice, both in music and where you go to hear it. At
AltSounds <http://altsounds.com/>
, we have designed a community that gives listeners a place to find
the best new music available in an environment that works for them and
with them. For artists, we have designed profiles that work like EPKs
and have built-in, automatic promotion to help them gain new fans and
create their own buzz more easily. For labels, we have designed an
inexpensive promotion and advertising system that allows them to reach
a large focused audience with incredible ease. We have seen what else
is out there and decided it wasn’t good enough. Other sites do not
satisfy all of our needs as fans, musicians, and artist promoters. We
needed a site that could do it all without costing fans money,
crashing regularly and sounding like shit, and the only way to get it
was to build it ourselves.
AltSounds <http://altsounds.com/>
is committed to providing the best possible service to artists,
labels and especially fans by making the site wholly interactive and
constantly fresh. We encourage fans to express themselves through the
site by adding the content that THEY care about. We create our own
original content and offer our expert opinions on various facets of
music, as well as collect the most important and entertaining content
available online. We bring the fans exactly what they want, and gather
it into the most functional and visually appealing music site on the
internet. Being so ‘fan-focused’ has allowed us to create a
promotional system for artists unparalleled in other alleged artist
sites. In addition to having profiles laid out more like EPKs, acting
as the ‘ultimate fan page,’ the built-in promotion and advertising
for premium artists allows the high quality music to cycle through the
entire site, bringing it to people’s attention no matter where they
are or what they are doing. Premium artists are also included in our
various radio stations, making their music even more accessible, and
also qualifying them for additional front page, on-site and off-site
promotion. AltSounds <http://altsounds.com/>
provides artists with all of the tools necessary to take them to the
next level of promotion.
There is no other site like AltSounds, <http://altsounds.com/>
as we are the first to fully understand what it means to be a fan,
be a musician, and work in the biz. We have a created a site from that
perspective and know you will love it.
