Balancing the tightrope between indie and mainstream rock, THE BRUISES embrace incredibly catchy choruses, dueling female vocal harmonies, and a serrated double guitar attack. Tipping their hats to acts such as Lush, that dog., and Sleater-Kinney, the band has forged a sound that is both unique and timeless. …. “We just make music we like, without trying to be a part of any fad or musical trend,” says guitarist/singer Jen Black. “I’d like to think that someone 10 or 20 years from now could enjoy our songs the same way they do at this moment.”

Hold Me Luke Allen

In late 2009 a bass player, another bass player, and a drummer stepped out of the rhythm section shadows and into the spotlight to realize a vision that combines musical influences ranging from trip-hop and electronica to grunge and punk. With a limited songwriting history, a load of production knowledge, a vision, and a lot of patience, Hold Me Luke Allen has found their rhythm — errr..voice. The trio has not entirely abandoned their respective instruments, but have added guitar, soft synths, vocals, sampling, and sequencers to the mix in what can readily be described as nu gaze (a genre combining elements of shoegaze and new wave/electronica)
