Bleachers

Bleachers recently released their newest track “Stop Making This Hurt” along with the music video, directed by Carlotta Kohl. The song will be on Bleachers’ third album titled, Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night, set for release on July 30^th via RCA Records. This is the first single and third offering from Bleachers’ forthcoming album and follows previously released tracks “Chinatown” feat. Bruce Springsteen and “45” which were met with mass critical praise in late 2020.

Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff said, "’Stop Making This Hurt’ is what you get when we are not allowed to go play for our people. it’s a line that had been ringing in my head for years. I fell into a dark place after a loss and then starting to have that feeling of rage towards the depression - which is when you know there’s a way out. Started looking at the people close to me in my life and finding all the ways we keep ourselves from breaking through. “Stop Making This Hurt” started ringing more and more in my head. Then the pandemic hit and I got the band in a room and we played like we may never play again. At that point it took on another meaning. Found myself banging at the door of the next phase of my life and to open brings up all the darkness from the past and what’s holding you back. I could intellectualize it for days but what I’m truly left with is a voice in my head shouting ‘Stop Making This Hurt’."

Based in New York City, Bleachers is the official stage name of songwriter and record producer Jack Antonoff, who is also part of the bands Steel Train, Fun, and Red Hearse. Their first single, "I Wanna Get Better", was released in 2014 and was #1 song at Alternative. They have released two full length albums so far; Strange Desire (2014) and Gone Now (2017). Bleachers, who are known for their incredible live shows, have headlined Sasquatch Festival, Governor’s Ball, Firefly Music Festival and more.

Bleachers will be hitting the road this fall on their ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night’ headline tour. The tour kicks off on September 11th, 2021 at Jack’s ‘Shadow of the City’ festival in New Jersey.
