Originally Bleeker Ridge, the band was formed by two sets of brothers: Taylor and Cole Perkins, and Dan and Dustin Steinke.

They first started playing covers of Jimi Hendrix and Joe Walsh songs before releasing their first two CDs, titled Undertow (2004) and The Rain (2007).

Kresta said he was "totally amazed at what these 14-year-olds were doing, they had their shirts off, long hair and it was almost odd, these voices and that sound coming out of these little guys.

[4] They released the album Small Town Dead, produced by Bob Marlette, on September 21, 2010 in Canada.

[5] In Spring 2011, Bleeker Ridge performed on the Canadian leg of the Jagermiester Music tour alongside My Darkest Days, Papa Roach, and Buckcherry.

After completing the recording of their new album with James Michael, who along with Nikki Sixx and DJ Ashba form the band Sixx:A.M., Dustin was asked to play drums for them on their Japanese debut at the Nippon Budokan on February 19, 2015 as part of VampPark Fest hosted by the rock band Vamps.

[6] In 2023, Bleeker signed a management deal with Known Accomplice and have hinted that new music is coming towards the end of 2023.
