Based out of Jersey City, NJ, under Soulworks Records, Bleud has been making waves in the Asian-American music scene since 2003. A leading member of the Filipino-American music community, Bleud has performed at notable venues in New York and Nw Jersey with Filipino bands during their US tours, as well as Bleud's own tours. Their debut album, "Musings of a Caffeine Addict" was the first Fil-Am album from an independent label to be available on iTunes. The band has also released 2 songs "Bye Bye Na" and "Hello My Friends, Hello" in the Philippines. Two music videos were also released int eh US and the Philippines for "Hello My Friends, Hello" and "Anime Girl", both available on YouTube for viewing.

After a line-up addition and change in late 2006, Bleud started moving towards and edgy, more defined sound from influences like The Hives and The Arctic Monkeys. The band feels "complete", now with drummer Jason Estrada, along with bassist Jerwin Glorioso, lead guitarist Arnold Derama, rhythm guitarist/vocalist Ted Reyes, and vocalist Brian Joseph Miguel. This new sound is evident in Bleud's recently released single "Ordinary", available for download on Bleud's official website, www.bleud.net. Now with their latest EP "Tragic Ending", released in February 2008, Bleud is ready to take on American people.
