Bleech 9:3 release "Tourniquet" single and announce biggest headline tour so far
Irish alt-rock quartet Bleech 9:3 have released a new single, "Tourniquet", and announced a large run of shows for 2027, including a date at the Kentish Town Forum. The new track premiered last night as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World.
The Dan Carey-produced track is out now with a video that you can watch below, and has been a staple of the band's recent live shows. Next month, they head out on a sold-out UK/EU tour ahead of the newly announced 2027 dates. The UK and Ireland leg kicks off in April 2027 in Brighton, taking in 16 dates that culminate at London's Kentish Town Forum on 12 May before they head to mainland Europe.
Incidentally, the band have confirmed the title of their debut album as Bleed, though no date has been set for its release.
Songwriters/guitarists Barry Quinlan and Sam Duffy met in AA, became each other's sponsors, then formed Bleech 9:3 in 2024 over a shared love of Nirvana, Fontaines, and Deftones. They put out their debut self-titled EP in May of this year through Polydor.
