We caught up with Sydney melodic hardcore heavyweights BLOOM right before their blistering set at Max Watts in Melbourne. With their incredible sophomore album, The Light We Chase (out now via Pure Noise Records), making massive waves, we dive deep into the band's spectacular new chapter.

We chat about how they pushed their creative boundaries to blend stadium-ready anthems and dreamy shoegaze with bone-rattling heaviness, plus what it was like working with guest vocalists like Patrick Miranda (Movements), Mikaila Delgado (Yours Truly), and Jack Bergin (Void Of Vision).

We also talk about the absolute chaos of sharing the stage with Seattle’s high-octane heavy-hitters AVOID on this massive 2026 Australian headline tour!
