Bleachers is an American rock band from New Jersey, formed in 2013 by musician Jack Antonoff. Antonoff was the only permanent member until 2023, when several musicians, including Mikey Freedom Hart, Sean Hutchinson, Evan Smith, Michael Riddleberger, and Zem Audu, became official members. The band's early music was influenced by the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as the high school-based films of John Hughes, while incorporating modern production techniques. Their debut single 'I Wanna Get Better' was released in February 2014. They have released five studio albums: Strange Desire (2014), Gone Now (2017), Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night (2021), Bleachers (2024), and a re-recording of their debut album, titled A Stranger Desired (2024).
