For The Love Of Noise: The Musician Who Won't Quit: Zoom Interview with Hazel Bloom

It all started with a mindless Instagram scroll—one of those late-night doom sessions where you tell yourself, just five more minutes and suddenly it's 2 AM. That’s when I first stumbled upon Hazel Bloom. A sponsored post popped up, promising a free signed CD, and curiosity got the best of me. I mean, who’s still handing out CDs in 2025? Bold move.

Turns out, behind the name Hazel Bloom is Dave Carlin, an artist blending infectious pop hooks with just the right amount of emo nostalgia to make your inner 2007 self feel seen. One deep dive into his music later, specifically his latest album release Dissociative Memories Released on Jan. 31, 2025, I was hooked. Fast-forward through a few DMs, and suddenly, I’m setting up a Zoom interview with the guy—because if someone’s out here hustling their music like it’s a Warped Tour parking lot circa 2010, I need to know more.

That first chat was just the beginning. We covered everything from his songwriting process to how this whole free signed CD movement became his secret weapon. And trust me, there’s more where that came from—because future video interviews? They’re happening. Stay tuned.
