About Bleeker

Bleeker is a Canadian alternative rock band from Orillia, Ontario, known for their high-energy performances and infectious, hook-driven songs, blending alternative rock, blues rock, grunge, and hard rock with a psych-tinged groove. Formed in 2003 (originally as Bleeker Ridge), the band consists of vocalist Taylor Perkins, guitarist Cole Perkins, bassist Mike Van Dyk, and drummer Chris Dimas. They broke onto the scene with their 2016 debut album "Erase You," which featured the chart-topping single "Highway," earning them a Juno Award nomination. Bleeker continued their momentum with the 2024 album "Messed Up," including the singles "Make It Better" and "Let's Go," the latter of which became a prominent sports anthem featured during the 2024 and 2025 NHL playoffs and UEFA European Championships. In early 2025, they signed an exclusive global publishing deal with Downtown Music Publishing and released the EP "Fuck You I'm Leaving." The band has accumulated over 57 million global streams and has an upcoming studio album, "ELEPHANT," scheduled for release on September 4, 2026, with the title track already unveiled. They also have several tour dates planned for summer 2026.
