Just two days after Social Distortion announced the departure of drummer Adam “Atom” Willard, they picked up Scott Reeder of Fu Manchu to play in Willard’s stead.  Reeder will make his first appearance with Social D on the band’s South American tour beginning in early April.  It is uncertain how the lineup change will affect the band’s recording of their new album, the follow-up to 2004’s Sex, Love & Rock ‘N’ Roll.

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s Orange County, California’s Bleeding Through.

This one is short and sweet and we stole it from the interwebs so it must be true!

When asked about the origin of the name Bleeding Through, the band responds: “Well, it is summed up by the explanation that whether black, white, red, brown, yellow, religious preference, straight or gay, we all bleed the same, and we bleed through this life the same. Thus Bleeding Through.”

I like that.

If you’ve got a good band name origin story, or want us to research one for you, message us on the Dying Scene facebook page.
