Over their past few records, Philly garage rockers Bleeding Rainbow—formerly Reading Rainbow—have slowly sorted out who they are. Their new album, Interrupt, is a zippy, Superchunk-y set of buttoned-tight pop-rock songs that bounce nimbly on their heels.
In 2009, Bleeding Rainbow were called Reading Rainbow, and their MySpace address, lamentably, was "levarfuckingburton." They changed their name shortly afterward, because "we didn't want to get a cease and desist order from PBS," and because "we like the name Bleeding Rainbow better." Making the hobbled-ankle leap from one dubious, cutesy moniker to another in full view of your audience is, to put it bluntly, not a great way to ensure your future as a band.
