The Bleedin Bleedins formed in the Boston area in the mid-2000s, laying down a foundation of melodic, guitar-driven rock with strong hook-driven melodies. The original lineup featured Michael Coen on vocals, Barry Kelly on guitar, and David Franz on drums. They kicked things off with a self-released debut, Life Without Computers, in 2005, delivering tracks like Tonight, Darkest Day, Don’t Stop City, and Fly Me Home that showcased their indie/alternative rock sensibilities. Over time, the project evolved under a new name—Midatlantic—bringing The Longest Silence (2008) to life and continuing the band’s tradition of concise, emotionally charged songwriting. Today, fans and newcomers can explore the artist’s history, discography highlights, and any announced tour activity as they keep the sound of The Bleedin Bleedins alive in the modern indie landscape.
