Indie Pop & Rock Band; Known for "Strange Desire" & "I Wanna Get Better"; Grammy Award-Winning Collaborators
Bleachers Biography
Bleachers is an American indie pop and rock band based in Bergenfield, New Jersey, founded by singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jack Antonoff. The band is known for blending the sounds of 1980s pop and college rock with emotionally resonant songwriting. Initially, Antonoff was the sole permanent member until longtime touring musicians Mikey Freedom Hart, Sean Hutchinson, Evan Smith, Michael Riddleberger, and Zem Audu became official members.
Before forming Bleachers, Antonoff was the lead guitarist in the multi-platinum band fun. He launched Bleachers with the debut album "Strange Desire," which featured songs such as the gold-certified "I Wanna Get Better" and "Rollercoaster." The album reached number 11 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and number two on the Top Rock Albums chart. Bleachers followed with the album "Gone Now," released via RCA Records, which included the single "Don't Take the Money" and peaked at number six on the Billboard Alternative Albums chart.
The band’s album "Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night" featured a collaboration with Bruce Springsteen on the track "Chinatown," reflecting Antonoff's New Jersey roots. Bleachers continued to evolve their sound with the sax-driven single "Modern Girl" and the self-titled album "Bleachers," which offered a more reflective tone. The album "Everyone for Ten Minutes" further showcased the band's approach to combining personal themes with expansive pop and rock arrangements.
Jack Antonoff has also established himself as a prominent producer and songwriter in the music industry, co-writing and producing hundreds of songs, including work with Sara Bareilles, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey. His Grammy Awards include Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, for three consecutive years, as well as Album of the Year awards for his collaborations with Taylor Swift on "1989," "Folklore," and "Midnights." Antonoff has been recognized by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people.
Bleachers have performed at major venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Madison Square Garden, and have toured globally across Japan, Europe, and North America. The band is recognized for its catalog of heartland anthems, synth-driven pop, and personal storytelling, establishing a significant presence in contemporary pop and rock music.
