Charlotte, North Carolina’s Late Bloomer have released another new song called “Sleeve.” It is the latest single to be released from their third full-length album, Waiting, which is due out later this month.
“Sleeve” showcases Late Bloomer’s ability to seamlessly combine their brand of 90’s alternative hooks with the energy of a band like the Replacements. Speaking on the song, bassist/co-vocalist Josh Robbins explains that “It’s about the need for men listen to women. ‘Sleeve; specifically addresses how male songwriters can have a tendency to negatively paint female subjects in their songs without remotely considering that person’s point of view. If we learned to hear the other perspective we wouldn’t be so quick to jump to one-sided negativity.”
In addition to the release of Waiting, the band will be heading out on tour in support of the album later this month as well. The tour kicks off on June 29th in Charlotte, North Carolina and will run through July 21st when it wraps up win Winston Salem, North Carolina. The band will also be making an appears at this years The Fest in Gainesville, Florida.
