History
2018-2020 (Formation and Line-up Change)
The Scouse Pop-Punk band originally began with just Guitarist Shaun Brady and Ex Vocalist Sam Kinley writing songs together. Together they recorded their debut E.P "At Long Last". At the end of 2018 they added Drummer George Gebbie, Guitarist David Lynn, and Bassist JohnJo Gorman. After the addition of new members, they released the E.P "At Long Last" on June 3rd 2019.
In December, 2019. Drummer George Debbie departed the band for unknown reasons, and was quickly replaced by Michael 'Biv' Bivona known for playing in many bands around the Newcastle area, specifically Better Days (2016-2019). As well as filling in for bands such as: The Strands, and Ground Culture.
Around June, 2020 was the time Guitarist Joe Cooper, Biv's best friend joined the band, replacing Guitarist David Lynn. This would then be the line-up for the next year. Playing few shows together due to Covid-19 and Lockdown.
2022 (Final Line-up Change)
In February, 2022, the band had another line-up change. Vocalist Sam Kinley and Bassist JohnJo Gorman left the band to pursue a different path in music, leaving behind no bad feelings with the rest of the members. Before they're departing, Gold Bloom had been in the studio recording E.P II "Double or Nothing" and had almost finished. However with the exiting of Vocalist Sam Kinley and Bassist JohnJo Gorman they felt they couldn't release the album with Kinley's vocals on the tracks. This is where Now Vocalist Benji Yapp and Bassist Demo Darby come in. Gold Bloom knew about the duo from their previous project "GoodGrief", the name the two would write and release music under. After brief discussion the first time they all got together was in the studio to re-record vocals for "Double or Nothing", this was around March, 2022. It wasn't until June where they official announced the duo had joined the band on Instagram.
