Bruce Flea
Bruce Flea is a group of four Cleveland High School students who came together in 2012. They have a very original sound exclusive to Bruce Flea. They have played various venues since their debut, including twice at Cain’s Ballroom opening for BADFISH and The Expendables as well as the Axis Stage at Rocklahoma 2013. They were nominated for a contest from KMOD to play on the Hard Rock Stage at Rocklahoma 2014 and made it to round two for this competition. They have been played weekly on the Homegroan show, The Edge, 104.5. They are currently all 18-19 years old and are graduating High School this year. Their debut album is available on ITunes, CD Baby.com, and Amazon. Their desire is to be signed with a label and their music to be shared and enjoyed by all. Please keep in mind that the video attached is from last year, and being young they have made major improvements in their style and musical talent since then. They currently are looking into a new video to express this. Please consider BRUCE FLEA! and “LIKE” them on Facebook! Thank you!
