Melodic hardcore group Bloom has today debuted another new single from the band’s forthcoming album The Light We Chase. Listen to “Out Of Reach” here or by clicking the image below. 
On the new single, the band shares: “‘Out Of Reach’ stems from questioning whether the pursuit is worth it, and the dissatisfaction that can come when striving towards a goal. The idea that the goalposts are always moving is at the root of the song, opening with the lyrics ‘Never satisfied, I always push to have it all’. Imagery of rot and ash drive the track forward, and Jono’s switch to clean vocals in the chorus ‘spit out the taste of’ a dream that has become a tragedy. Here, there is no light, and Out Of Reach asks the question if anything was worth chasing at all.” The Light We Chase is set to be released on 31st October 2025 via Pure Noise Records. The album reflects a period of emotional turmoil – relationship breakdowns, struggles with trust, and wrestling with hopelessness – offering the band’s most visceral collection to date. About Bloom Steeped in emotion, nostalgia and experimentation, album #2 for Sydney melodic hardcore collective Bloom vigorously cleaves together the group’s past, present and future, relishing in self-reflection and searing musicianship and ultimately facing the darkness with open arms. A significantly personal and musically diverse collection of songs, it’s fitting that this brand new chapter for Bloom captures them in an entirely new light. Enter: The Light We Chase. Following the release of their debut full length album, the conceptual 2024 masterpiece Maybe In Another Life, the journey to crafting Bloom’s sophomore full-length, The Light We Chase (due out in 2025 via Pure Noise Records), found vocalist Jono Hawkey, guitarists Jarod McLaren and Oliver Butler, bassist Andrew Martin, and drummer Jack Van Vliet adopting multi-faceted change, including starting and finishing the entire album in the space of a few short weeks. Brandishing fundamental themes of nostalgia, longing and the disappointment often associated with expectations at its core, The Light We Chase found Bloom boldly embracing uncharted sonic terrain alongside producer Sam Bassal (Ocean Grove, Void Of Vision, Thornhill), while also marking their first full-length release with Pure Noise Records after inking a deal with the label in 2024. Featuring the band’s first ever credited guest vocals, bringing together a stalwart lineup of features spanning homegrown heroes (Void Of Vision’s Jack Bergin and Yours Truly’s Mikaila Delgado) through to international icons (Movements’ Patrick Miranda), The Light We Chase snapshots everything from thunderous ruminations on fear and the present day (Forget Me Not) through to romanticizing the past and the reality of loss (Glen Street), while also injecting infectious hazy odes to the band’s shared collective past (Keep You), transcendent acoustic tenderness (Tongue Tied), and one of the heaviest Bloom moments to date, also offering a window into the band’s inner world (Withered). “I feel like we learned a lot from releasing album one, as well as the music that’s come before that,” vocalist Jono Hawkey shares. “We’re now at a point where we’re very confident in our sound, and we’re willing to take more risks.” Renowned for their open-veined take on the melodic hardcore realms since forming back in 2017, Bloom’s ability to balance catharsis with rage, despair and full-blown bangers has seen them recently tick off performances alongside Silverstein in Europe earlier this year, Chelsea Grin and Currents down under, their debut Japanese headline shows (with Tokyo entirely sold out), Miss May I, Polaris, Make Them Suffer in 2024, and a completely sold out headline tour for earlier single The Works Of You. In 2023, Bloom ticked off an appearance at Good Things Festival, supporting Bad Omens and Thornhill with Holding Absence, with their live performance equally renowned to be as potent as their commanding releases.
