Bleech 9:3 reveal details of their upcoming self-titled EP
Irish grunge band Bleech 9:3 have announced their self-titled EP, Bleech 9:3, and shared new single, "Underrated".
"Underrated" follows previous singles "Ceiling", "Jacky", and "Cannonball", as the latest preview of the EP.
Speaking about the song, singer-guitarist Baz Quinlan says: "I wrote it at the end of 2024, it was one of the first Bleech songs that we jammed back then. Bad worship is a theme that runs through the EP. I felt driven to write about how it twists love into something else. How the twisting becomes the thing that you end up wanting."
Bleech 9:3 first came together when Quinlan met guitarist Sam Duffy at AA and became his sponsor, before moving together from Dublin to London in 2024. "I think the vulnerability of those meetings helped us be a lot more comfortable with each other from the get go," Quinlan says of how the pair were able to develop a creative connection to write their first songs.
“I think to find someone your own age, with the same dreams as you, from the same city and is also suffering from the same thing… we knew immediately that we could help each other,” adds Duffy. “You can lose your mind thinking about how rare that is.”
