After our 2 week hiatus from “Artist Of The Week” we decided what better way to bring it back then with Mike Herrera along with a candid interview regarding his new band Tumbledown, you can read that below and I encourage everyone to hit him up on his myspace page right here
Mike when did you first start considering starting this project?
I started writing these styled tunes in 1999, but didn’t give serious thought to it until 2005.
Its very rare that I fall in love with an album and band within one listen of their album, but thats exactly what happened with Closure In Moscow. This band means business, they write some of the most meaningful lyrics in the scene today and they also made the decision to move across the Atlantic pond from Australia over to Portland, Oregon all for the music and their fans. We chose Closure In Moscow as Artist Of The Week for the simple fact that they are on my very short list of bands that will “Break” within the next year, and when they do everyone should watch out. Check out are interview with the band below, and also go and browse around their myspace right here
State your name and what you do in the band?
Mansur Zennelli, I play guitar and sing in the super fun happy time band Closure in Moscow 
I’ve heard that you guys recently moved from Australia to Portland?
This is true, we now reside in Portland, Oregon. It’s a really chill place that’s perfect to come back to off of a tour. It has alot of similarities to back home.

It is my pleasure to announce this week’s “Artist Of The Week” John Nolan, Nolan is a musician who should not only be our “Artist Of The Week” but also our “Next Big Thing”. We first heard from John as a prominent member of the band Taking Back Sunday before moving on to front Straylight Run. Straylight has been a huge influence on many of today’s bands and also a critical success. Just when you thought that is where it would end he has decided to bless music fans with his Debut Solo Album “Height”.
We had the opportunity to speak with John regarding the new album and you can find that interview below and also make sure to check him out on myspace right here along with all his future tour dates
If all the websites are correct your debut solo album comes out on October 27th and its called HEIGHT, is it and EP or actual full length?

Meet your new favorite musician, Jeff Kummer. You may know him previously from being a member of The Early November but that is in the past. Jeff Kummer is proving that he is a force to be reckoned with all by himself, and thats why we chose him as My Ears Bleed Artist Of The Week.
Jeff how long have you been working on this solo album?
It’s been a couple years in the making. There are a few songs on the album that I wrote the music to way back when I was on tour. I wanted to do this album for years but I was never confident about the material I was writing. In February, I went on a huge writing kick and before I knew it, I had a handful of songs ready to record. I hit the studio in May where I recorded half of the album. I head back in August to put this thing to rest.
