Irish four-piece Bleech 9:3 are a raucous alt-grunge band defined by their heavy, 90s-inspired sound. Tracks like ‘Ceiling’ and ‘Jacky’ are simultaneously bleak and cathartic, but Bleech 9:3 are more than just their music. Their story started when frontmen Baz Quinlan and Sam Duffy met at AA, where Baz became Sam’s sponsor. Their commitment to the band saw them move to London in 2024, quickly offering their bandmates an ultimatum - come to London, or be replaced. On the final day possible, the stars aligned and the band were able to move forward, tighter than ever. In 2025, they toured with both Keo and Shame, before selling out a triple-header of London headline dates in just eighteen minutes. It’s pretty obvious that 2026 is going to be huge for Bleech 9:3. -Dan Peeke
