The Bled have posted a big update on their current status, future plans and more:

Basically, we have been trying to figure out how to stay a band. As a lot of you know, we acquired a hefty band debt that we have individually been working to pay off. We have been touring as our full-time job for the past 7 years so jumping right in to regular work, particularly with the economy being as awful as it is, was no small task.

We have been steadily practicing old material as well as writing for a new record. The old songs sound, and feel like the old songs, and the new stuff is pretty insane. This is a new version of the Bled and so far it is as good as ever. We look forward to proving it on the first weekend of April at Bamboozle Left.
