Debut release “Bittersweet EP” by the Pop-Punk newcomers Bluedive features an infectious musical arrangement that very truthfully sings out the essence of teenage spirit.

There are four tracks in total. The album begins with the track “2020” that is bound to lighten up the already dampened soul affected by the pandemic. The track promises its audience with galloping guitars and a bombastic drum groove underscoring a hummable hook and the gang vocal.

“So basically, writing 2020 was like letting out a bunch of repressed frustration about the whole Covid thing, which is completely different from “Hurt Me”, which I actually wrote a year before Covid. Hurt Me is kinda like my own take on the 2000’s emo scene. It’s basically my homage to my feelings and My Chemical Romance if that makes sense,” – explains Aidan.


On the other end of the spectrum, the next track “Andie” moves like a sunny and upbeat bop but cuts much deeper. It comes with relaxing guitar and vocal grooves coupled with the drumbeats. It is smoothing taking the audience through a relaxing mood. The third track “Hurt Me” seesaws between hard hitting riffs and hypnotic melodies. They end the song set with the fresh yet retro acoustic feels on “Peaches & Cream.”

Bittersweet EP was Produced by Huston Haro, as you can rightfully guess, the band’s work has been highly influenced by the renowned and iconic bands such as Nirvana, Green Day, The Cure, The Smiths, Alice In Chains, Blink-182, and a Rock n’ Roll revolution that began long before they were born. It is catchy, intense, and banging with rhythms that every listener looks forward to when picking out a song track.

About the Band

The band consists of three teens who found themselves stuck at home during the Covid-19 Pandemic with a lot of time on their hands who found a way to channel their boredom into creativity. The Santa Clarita, CA trio are Aidan Dixon (vocals, guitar,) Riff Gordon (drums,) and Sebastian Landa (vocal, bass).


“Sebastian and I had played together in our high school jazz band so when he text and asked if I wanted to get together and play with him and Aidan I was happy to have a musical outlet after months of stay at home orders, the more we started to jam the more we realized the Covid shutdown afforded us the time to experiment with our music and figure out what we wanted Bluedive to be, that’s where the name comes from, when things seem to be at their darkest we find a way to dive into something positive,” says Riff.
